Pelagic Fisheries: U.S. and European Perspectives and Shared Experiences

The Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council held two workshops in collaboration with the European Union’s Pelagic Advisory Council (http://www.pelagic-ac.org/) in May and June 2018. The objective of these workshops was to share information and best management practices across U.S. and European pelagic and small-mesh fisheries. Both workshops involved a combination of presentations, group discussions, and field trips designed to give participants first-hand knowledge of local fishery operations and issues.
