SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The South Atlantic Council's Best Fishing
Practices (BFP) Outreach Initiative was expanded in December 2022.
Evaluation of the outreach efforts conducted is key in ensuring that
the goal of increasing the use of BFP in the South Atlantic snapper
grouper fishery is achieved. Fortunately, in recent years, there has
become increased interest in exploring stakeholder perception and usage
of BFP, namely barotrauma mitigation tools like descending devices.
This workshop will explore the relationship between perceptions, norms,
and the use of best practices, the effectiveness of best fishing
practices outreach and education efforts, and how evaluation efforts
can be used to support science and management processes.
Special Accommodations
These meetings are physically accessible to people with
