With ecologists and economists predicting a seafood shortage as early as 2048, federal and international entities are recognizing the demand for fishery management. IMSG ecologists, oceanographers, and scientists have spent years studying and analyzing the affects of over-fishing, pollution (direct and non-point), and other environmental factors that are hampering the ocean's ability to support a viable fish crop.
Our direct work with ecosystems, decision support tools, and fishery management have helped various institutions implement marine protected areas (MPAs), and Individual Transferable Quotas (ITQs) in support of controlled fisheries. From Artisanal fisheries to large-scale fisheries, IMSG applies the latest in research and technology to provide relevant solutions and innovations in fishery management. By factoring in resource ecology and social ecology interactions within the various regions and ecosystems, IMSG is capable of delivering geographically stratified solutions to fishery management.
