Teams
MRIP is managed via a Team structure, under the guidance of an Executive Steering Committee (ESC). To assure transparency and to achieve customer and stakeholder support, the ESC and the MRIP Teams are comprised of members from NOAA Fisheries headquarters, its Regions and Fisheries Science Centers, and of state agency and Interstate Marine Fishery Commissions staff. In addition, the Teams are joined by participants from the regional Fishery Management Councils and key stakeholder organizations.

MRIP Partners
Regional partners are vital because data needs for effective management can differ substantially in different parts of the country, and even among various fisheries within each region. National standards ensure that regardless of the specific decisions made by each region, all recreational fisheries survey and estimation methods withstand a rigorous independent peer review and the fisheries statistics meet the quality sufficient to ensure the sustainable use of recreational fishing resources.
