. Sustainable Fisheries, Jobs, and the Economy

Fisheries, whether for commerce or recreation, play an enormous role in the U.S.

economy. In 2012, U.S. commercial fishermen landed 9.6 billion pounds of seafood

valued at $5.1 billion. Fish processors, icehouses, restaurants, grocery stores, bait

and tackle shops, fuel stations, and a multitude of other businesses benefit from

healthy commercial and recreational fishing.. Healthy Stocks Mean Healthy Economies

Continuing to maintain high commercial fish landings and values is good news

for fishermen, fishing communities, and for the Americans who want sustainable,

healthy U.S. seafood. We are seeing that responsible management is helping us turn

the corner towards more sustainable and profitable commercial fisheries.. Fresh Facts, Smart Seafood

When consumers go to the market for seafood, they can be assured that if the

species is caught in the United States, it has been caught responsibly. NOAA Fisheries

provides the public with easy-to-understand, science-based facts at FishWatch.gov

to help them make smart, sustainable seafood choices. FishWatch delivers regularly

updated information on how U.S. seafood is harvested under regulations that keep the

environment healthy, fish populations thriving, and our seafood industry on the job.. Improvements to Recreational Fishing Data

Through the Marine Recreational Information Program, NOAA Fisheries has made substantial improvements to how it collects and reports recreational fishing information. The new recreational catch estimation methodology implemented in 2011 was the first step in a series of planned data enhancements, and lays the scientific and statistical foundation to make other significant improvements such as more precise estimates. In March 2013, NOAA introduced a new angler catch survey for gathering catch data from anglers. The new design further increases the accuracy of catch estimates. Data gathered from the new survey will appear in next year s Fisheries of the U.S. report.
