These species are managed or monitored by the Pacific Fishery Management Council under the CPS (Coastal Pelagics) Fishery Management Plan (FMP) . Our goal is to acquire sufficient understanding of the California Current pelagic ecosystem so as to predict most likely biological responses to changing environmental conditions. The stock assessments conducted allow the Pacific Fishery Management Council to manage harvested species in the context of these changes and in the context of the pelagic food web. In addition, FRD strives to implement the long-term strategic goal of an ecosystem approach to fisheries management.
