Social Sciences Branch, NOAA's Northeast Fisheries Science Center

Organization Description

Through its work, the Branch seeks to increase the net benefits derived by the nation from its regional endowment of renewable marine resources. The Branch provides analyses and advice to federal and state fishery management organizations and other constituents on the national and regional economic and sociocultural effects of existing and proposed management programs. Guided by applicable law, the Branch conducts reviews of the benefits, costs, and social impacts of regulatory interventions. The Branch's market news offices in Boston and New York collect and broadcast local and national product price and inventory information in support of the development of efficient, reliable markets.
