Information, not advice

The information on this site is for general information and education about ocean conservation and fisheries policy. We work to keep it accurate and current, but policies, regulations, and scientific findings change, and we do not promise that everything is complete or up to date. Nothing here is legal, financial, scientific, or other professional advice. Check official sources, such as the relevant fishery management agency, before relying on regulatory information.

This site links to websites run by others. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content or practices. A link does not mean we endorse the site or what it says.
