Press release: “NOAA today released its annual report on the status of U.S. marine fisheries for 2006, tracking both population levels and harvest rates for species caught in federal marine waters, between three and 200 miles off U.S. coasts. In 2006, the report shows population levels for 187 fish stocks and multi-species groupings known as complexes. Of these, 47 were overfished. NOAA scientists also assessed harvest rates for 242 stocks and found that 48 were subject to overfishing.”
