Updated EBFM Road Map
The updated Ecosystem-Based Fisheries Management (EBFM) Road Map details progress made by the agency since 2016 towards achieving EBFM, and outlines specific actions and efforts for the future that will enhance NOAA Fisheries' efforts to implementing EBFM Policy.
The Role of IEAs in Moving Towards EBFM
NOAA’s Integrated Ecosystem Assessment (IEA) program outlines a collaborative, multidisciplinary approach to help advance nationwide EBFM by providing the scientific support for assessing the entire ecosystem and its uses. The EBFM Road Map and EBFM Policy are meant to encompass and align multiple EBFM-related efforts, including NOAA’s IEA program, in a holistic way.
