Description

Abstract: It is Marine Resource Program’s (MRP) goal to increase the quality and quantity of stock assessments and biological information through improved at-sea and dockside sampling programs and through carefully designed research projects. Planned work will: * Address emerging fisheries resource concerns, such as: need to evaluate changes in regulation, need to develop alternative fishing gears, need to provide information on stocks with unknown status, need to develop alternative survey methods, and need to improve stock assessments; * As funds are of limited duration, we will focus on extension of projects already committed to, or undertake new short-term projects. * Balance efforts between the nearshore and offshore fisheries and resources. * Be collaborative and complementary in nature, working with partners including but not limited to Oregon State University, University of Oregon, the National Marine Fisheries Service, other states agencies, and the fishing community; * Use required framework for Department and NMFS approval. It is also MRP’s goal to improve efficiency of operation and customer service by implementing a re-organization plan and recruiting for vacant positions. We begin the MRP’s Plan with a preface which outlines MRP’s overall mission, Fish Division’s agency strategy, and MRP’s goals and objectives which support the strategy. Following MRP mission, goals, and objectives, we outline specific tasks for each major program element which support these goals and objectives.
