Description
The FishPath Tool is an online decision-support tool for data-limited fisheries management. The primary goal of the FishPath Tool is to support users in understanding and refining options for the three major components of a harvest strategy: 1) data collection, 2) data-limited assessment, and 3) management measures. Once registered, you may access the FishPath Tool, including the FishPath questionnaire, interactive results tailored to your fishery, and supporting resources.
