Recreational Fisheries Engagement Initiative Update MAFAC Recreational Fisheries Working Group April 13, 2011

2 NOAA Recreational Engagement Initiative Regional Recreational Coordinators (11/09) MAFAC Recreational Fisheries Working Group (04/10) National Recreational Policy Advisor (04/10) Recreational Saltwater Fishing Summit (04/10) National Recreational Saltwater Fishing Action Agenda (10/10) Background/Overview

3 Recreational Saltwater Fisheries Action Agenda Five overarching goals w/tangible objectives, including, improved: Recreational fishing opportunities Recreational catch, effort, and status data Social and economic data Communications Institutional orientation

4 Recent Headway MRIP Catch Estimation Methodology implemented (01/11) Scientific Annual Catch Limit Workshop (02/11) MRIP Recreational Data Timeliness workshop (03/11) MRIP/MRFSS Catch Estimate Re-estimation Workshop (03/11) Recreational Barotrauma workshop (03/11)

5 Additional Headway Incorporated substantial changes to the National Catch Shares Policy Integrated recreational fisheries concerns into final interagency National Oceans Policy process. Formalized the role of the National Policy Advisor for Recreational Fisheries in the FMC appointment process Expedited 2010 South Atlantic red snapper assessment update in response to angler concerns: allowed for elimination of proposed closed area Developed a strategy to actively engage the Councils and constituents in a discussion of allocation issues Initiated efforts to identify, and expand flexibility in implementation of National Standard 1.

6 Next Ports of Call Improved Recreational Fishing Opportunities Identify and implement flexibility in Annual Catch Limits Actively engage the Councils/constituents on allocation of fishery resources Seek opportunities to strengthen angler involvement with the National Sanctuaries Program Continue to work to reduce recreationally induced bycatch mortality (i.e. barotruama, hooking mortality) Identify steps to improve habitat for recreationally important species Improved Recreational Catch, Effort and Status Data Continue MRIP implementation

7 Ports of Call cont. Improved Socio-Economic Information 2011 Marine Recreational Expenditure Survey Socio-economic data gap analysis and workshops Improved Communications Continue to engage with recreational fishermen on Coastal and Marine Spatial Planning Institutional Orientation and Planning Release of regional (including Atlantic HMS) recreational action agendas Host a symposium on managing recreational fisheries at the 2011 American Fisheries Society meeting

8 Barotrauma Workshop March 14-17, 2011 Goals Identify best practices and equipment for use by anglers to increase the survival of angler-sought saltwater fishes Develop outline for messages directed to anglers to employ in their interaction with saltwater species Provide guidance to management bodies, and Identify gaps in the current state of knowledge in need of additional research efforts/funding

9 Barotrauma Workshop Continued Topics discussed: Avoidance: Management techniques and fishing techniques designed to prevent encounters of unwanted species/sizes Size: Effect of catching various sizes of fish on stock sustainability Venting and Decompression/Recompression: Techniques and appropriate uses Fish Friendly Tackle: Techniques and gear for releasing fish

10 Recompression

11 Barotrauma Workshop Findings (partial summary) Guidelines for releasing recreationally caught marine fishes Avoid unwanted fish when possible (gear/bait/fishing location choices) Use the proper release tools Release ASAP (ideally <2 min.) Guidelines specific to Saltwater recreational fish caught in deep water Recompression is first technique of choice (if venting not in regulations) Return fish to depth of capture (minimum of feet if not possible) Guideline for regulatory agencies Regional workshops for region specific guidance Gaps in the current state of knowledge Species specific release mortality info needed for incorporation into assessments
