Management Goals and Objectives for the Ocean Spot Shrimp Fishery:

    Goal 1.     Ensure sustainability of the resource.

    Objective: Apply an annual harvest guideline (i.e., an informal annual quota) that will prevent over harvesting. Revise the harvest guideline as new fishery performance and biological data becomes available.

    Goal 2.     Achieve equitable catch allocation between gear types.

    Objective: Apply time and/or area management measures that will promote equity in catch allocation and minimize conflict between the competing trawl and pot gear.
