A central goal of U.S. fisheries management is to control the
exploitation of fish populations so that fisheries remain
biologically productive, economically valuable, and socially
equitable. Although the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act led to many improvements, a number of fish
populations remained overfished and some fisheries were considered
economically inefficient. In response, Congress amended the Act in
2006 to allow additional management approaches, including Limited
Access Privilege Programs (LAPPs) in which individuals receive a
permit to harvest a defined portion of the total allowable catch
for a particular fish stock. This report examines the impacts of
LAPPs on mixed-use fisheries, defined as fisheries where
recreational, charter, and commercial fishing sectors target the
same species or stocks. The report offers recommendations for
NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and the Regional
Fishery Management Councils (the Councils) who oversee and manage
federally regulated fisheries. For each of the five mixed-use
fisheries included in the report, the committee examined available
fisheries data and analyses and collected testimony from fishery
participants, relevant Councils, and NMFS regional experts through
a series of public meetings. Table of Contents Front Matter
