Regional Workflows
NOAA Fisheries consists of six regional fishery science centers:
Alaska Fisheries Science Center
Northeast Fisheries Science Center
Northwest Fisheries Science Center
Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center
Southeast Fisheries Science Center
Southwest Fisheries Science Center
Each office conducts fisheries stock assessments for species in their region and thus different process for evaluating stock status and reporting. Each region’s process has been summarized in a NOAA technical memo (link when published)[].
