Excerpt from Establishing a 200-Mile Fisheries Zone: Implementation of the Fishery Conservation and Management Act of 1976; Working Papers The six working papers included in this document contain background data and detailed analysis prepared for the Office of Technology Assessment In the course or its study of problems and opportunities chat may be encountered in establishing a 200-mile fisheries zone for the United States and implementing other provisions of the Fishery Conservation and Management Act of 1976. These working papers do not represent a complete bibliography of materials used by the assessment staff during its study. Interviews and other published data were also used and these are cited in the footnotes to the Assessment Report. No attempt has been made here to reproduce such material. much of which is available through established information channels. The OTA analysis found that most of the problems and opportunities of establishing a 200-mile fisheries zone relate to: 1) the need for new types of data which will be required to draw up and maintain fishery regulations and management programs, and 2) the need for new enforcement techniques and equipment to be used by agencies responsible for patrolling the zone. These subjects arc discussed in detail in the Assessment Report, a separate document which surrmarizes the OTA findings and recommendations. That document, entitled "Establishing a 200-mile Fisheries Zone," is for sale for $2.45 through the Superintendent of Documents. U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402. A third document, containing classified portions of the discussions about remote sensing technology as an enforcement tool, has also been prepared.
