The Fisheries Statistics & Economics Division collects data and coordinates information and research programs to support the science-based stewardship of the nation's living marine resources. In addition to integrating and disseminating state and federal statistics about marine fisheries, we coordinate the NMFS economics and fishery observer programs. Our efforts help to build sustainable fisheries. This site describes how and why we conduct all our programs, provides access to key databases (commercial fisheries landings, foreign trade, marine recreational fisheries catch and effort), and contains relevant links and references.
