MAFMC Strategic Plan
In October 2024, the Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council approved a strategic plan to guide the Council’s activities for the years 2025 through 2029. Building on decades of collaboration, science-based management, and public engagement, the 2025-2029 Strategic Plan outlines a path forward to help the Council navigate the complexities of fisheries management in a dynamic and changing world. The goals and objectives described in the plan have been informed by the Council’s previous strategic plans, as well as input from stakeholders, the public, and management partners.
Implementation Plan
Implementation of the strategic plan is a long-term process supported through the annual development of one-year implementation plans that identify specific tasks necessary for achieving the Council’s goals and objectives. Annual implementation plans are used as a planning tool by the Council and staff and as a way to update the public on progress toward achieving the goals and objectives of the strategic plan. Each year’s plan is designed to provide a comprehensive and realistic framework for merging the Council's ongoing projects with new initiatives.
