The Fisheries Leadership & Sustainability Forum (FLSF) is a partnership among four of the nation's leading academic and policy institutions:
Stanford University's Woods Institute for the Environment
Duke University's Nicholas Institute for Environmental Policy Solutions
Center for Ocean Solutions
Environmental Defense Fund, Incorporated
The FLSF provides professional development, continuing education, and networking opportunities for members of the regional fishery management councils through semiannual forums, regional workshops, and an ongoing support program.
The goal is to help council members enhance their understanding of the science, economics and policies integral to fisheries management. The FLSF encourage the exchange of ideas and expanding knowledge on key fishery management topics.
We serve as a neutral party that does not advocate for any one fisheries management option or plan or support or oppose actions taken by the regional councils.
