Strategic Goals from NOAA’s Next Generation Strategic Plan Healthy Oceans Marine fisheries, habitats, and biodiversity Sustained within healthy and productive ecosystems

SEFSC Research Themes and Objectives Ecosystem-based Management Improve understanding of ecosystems to support resource management decisions Resource Protection & Restoration Recover coastal and marine protected species Climate Research & Impacts Ensure healthy habitats that sustain resilient and thriving marine resources and communities

It is not just about fish Ecosystem Services Commercial Fishing Recreation Fishing, Diving, & Snorkeling Tourism Coastal Protection Wilderness Habitat & Biodiversity Research & Education Marine Industries Reefs provide valuable ecosystem goods and services in all three SEUS LMEs.

Challenge: Environmental Data Collection Ecosystem–based management requires adequate environmental data to detect and determine causes of change.

SEFSC Current and Recent Activities Deep Water Horizon Damage Assessment and Restoration ESA Protected Species Monitoring and Recovery Marine Mammals, Sea Turtles, Corals (7), Fishes (sturgeon, Nassau groper, sawfish, hammerhead shark) Johnson Seagrass Ecosystem-Based Fishery Management Integrated Ecosystem Assessments (IEA) Management Strategy Evaluation (MSE) Improved Fishery Dependent and Independent Monitoring Climate Vulnerability Assessment (Gulf of Mexico) Habitat monitoring and assessments (Corals)

SE Stocks Overfished and Undergoing Overfishing NOAA Fisheries measures the performance of U.S. federal fisheries through the Fish Stock Sustainability Index (FSSI). First implemented in 2005, the FSSI is a quarterly index that currently includes 199 fish stocks selected because of their importance to commercial and recreational fisheries. The FSSI measures the performance of these important fish stocks, which represent 85 percent of total catch. NOAA Fisheries Quarter 4 Update Stock Status as of December 31, 2015 Fish Stock Sustainability Index (FSSI):
