But new methods are being continuously developed and used in the field that deliver science-based results, even in the absence of long-term, historical catch data. Since fishery stock assessments can be extremely complex, EDF recently developed a user-friendly, six-step framework as part of an overall guide to Science-Based Management of Data-Limited Fisheries.<\/p>\n<p>The framework outlines a systematic approach that fishery managers can use to conduct quick and relatively inexpensive assessments.\u00a0\u00a0The methods allow stakeholders in data-limited fisheries to estimate risks to marine ecosystems, determine vulnerability of a stock to fishing pressure, calculate the level of overfishing, assess the sustainability of the fishery, and establish sustainable fishing targets and other management reference points.<\/p>\n<p>Download the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/catchshares.edf.org\/sites\/catchshares.edf.org\/files\/CSDM_Sup_Data_Limited_Fisheries.pdf\">guide<\/a>\u00a0on Science-Based Management of Data-Limited Fisheries or download the entire\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/catchshares.edf.org\/resources\/toolkit\">toolkit<\/a>\u00a0for fisheries.\u00a0\u00a0Feel free to send questions or comments to\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:catchsharequestions@edf.org\">catchsharequestions@edf.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to a recent study published in Science, nearly 80% of the world\u2019s catch comes from \u201cdata-limited\u201d fisheries.
