The South Atlantic Fishery Management Council is a federal organization responsible for managing fisheries in the South Atlantic region, spanning from North Carolina to Florida. They oversee the regulations and conservation efforts for over 64 individual species, including coastal migratory pelagics, coral, dolphin, wahoo, golden crab, sargassum, shrimp, snapper, grouper, and spiny lobster. With a focus on sustainable fishing practices, the council works closely with advisory panels, scientific committees, and the public to ensure the long-term health and viability of the region's fisheries. Through their various programs and initiatives, such as the Citizen Science Program and the SMILE Project, the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council actively engages with stakeholders and promotes collaborative solutions to global ocean challenges. They also organize council meetings, public hearings, and scoping sessions to gather input and feedback from the public and industry experts. Committed to science-based management, the council strives to balance the economic and recreational interests of the fishing community while protecting the marine ecosystem for future generations.Generated from the website
