A Blueprint for Ending Overfishing in U.S. Fisheries - 2009

TAKING STOCK:
The Cure for Chronic Overfishing - 2007
Although the amendments to the Magnuson-Stevens Act in 1996 (MSA) defined overfishing, prohibited fishery managers from setting fishing quotas above the maximum sustainable yield, and required managers to rebuild overfished stocks as quickly as possible, loopholes in the MSA have allowed overfishing to continue unchecked in some regions.
