Ocean conservation is at an important juncture in many ways, including in the U.S. with the anticipated reauthorization of the nation’s primary law governing management of our fisheries, the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act).  

Building on a strong foundation of public opinion research and lessons learned from other efforts with its partners, The Ocean Project worked with six leading aquariums to develop effective ways to inform visitors about the important role that a sound, science-based approach can play in protecting, even improving the health of fish populations and fisheries, while still ensuring that visitors enjoy their time on site.
