Stakeholder Input in Maryland Fisheries Management: Commission, Task Force, Committee
Maryland Department of Natural Resources Fisheries Service recognizes the value in stakeholder comment for effective management efforts. Utilization of natural resources differs among diverse stakeholder groups resulting in varied economic and social value of ecosystem components. Several forums exist for the inclusion of stakeholder comment in the development of management actions. Legislative action may be used to initiate a commission or task force, whereas a committee may be formed through a less formalized procedure.
