A comprehensive approach to managing Chesapeake Bay fisheries is needed because biological, physical, economic, and social aspects of the fisheries are shared among the Bay's jurisdictions. The Chesapeake Bay Progran's Living Resources Subcommittee formed a Fisheries Management Workgroup to address the commitment in the Bay Agreement forcomprehensive, Bay-widefishery management plans. The workgroup is composed of members from government agencies, the academic community, the fishing industry, and public interest groups representing Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, the District of Columbia, and the federal government.
