| The
Commission’s Law Enforcement Program assists the states in
coordinating their law enforcement efforts through data exchange
and problem identification. The program’s primary objective
is to ensure that the law enforcement provisions of the Commission’s
fishery management plans are adequate. The program is coordinated
through the activities of the Commission's Law Enforcement Committee,
which includes law enforcement representatives from the 15 Atlantic
coastal states, the District of Columbia, the National Marine Fisheries
Service, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the U.S. Coast
Guard. |
