Abstract: In response to renewed fishing industry support for marketing and promotion-related activities, National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) enacts regulations to implement the Fish and Seafood Promotion Act of 1986 for the establishment, organization, and operation of Seafood Marketing Councils (Council). The Council's marketing and promotion plans will be designed to increase the general demand for fish and fish products by encouraging, expanding, and improving the marketing and utilization of fish and fish products both in domestic or foreign markets, through consumer education, research, and other marketing and promotion activities. The intent of this rule is to increase benefits from domestic fisheries while maintaining consistency with NMFS' stewardship goals and mission statement.
