NOAA Fisheries Service released the 2019 Status of U.S. Fisheries Report. This report supports a record-low number of stocks in the U.S. that are subject to overfishing.
U.S. Secretary of Commerce, Wilbur Ross stated, "it's important we acknowledge the achievements in sustainable fisheries made in recent years by fishermen, industries, scientists, managers, and conservationists across our Nation. These updates are a testament to their outstanding work."
Thank you, Alaska commercial seafood industry, fleet, and stakeholders for being a part of this fantastic achievement! bit.ly/32Ykbqi
