"NOAA Fisheries is pleased to present the 2016 Report to
Congress on the Status of U.S. Fisheries as managed under
the science-based framework of the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA). As a
result of the combined efforts of NOAA Fisheries, the eight
regional fisheries management councils (councils), and
other partners, two previously overfished stocks were
rebuilt, and the number of stocks on the overfishing and
overfished lists remains near all-time lows. Two stocks
were assessed for the first time in 2016, which resulted in
new stock status information. Neither of these stocks are
subject to overfishing or overfished. Continuous monitoring
and improvement of our knowledge about the status of
stocks is key to ongoing sustainable fisheries management
under the MSA..."
