From July-December 2014, six Roundtables gathered information and reported back to the Stakeholder Working Group (SWG).

The Fish Stocks Roundtable aimed to,

• enhance marine life and fish stocks in the Gulf, in all species that are harvested
• lift the productivity of the Gulf to support greater recruitment, growth and quality of fish stocks through all stages of the fish life cycle
• achieve greater overall value from fish stocks (including economic, recreational, customary and ecological value).

This Roundtable's findings presented to the SWG can be viewed below. Please sign up for our monthly newsletters to stay in the loop.
