Striped Bass Restoration
 |
Gulf of Mexico striped bass restoration activities
are guided by the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint (ACF) River System
Restoration and Evaluation Plan, a part of the ACF Cooperative Agreement,
which is part of the Gulf States Marine Fisheries Commission (GSMFC)
Gulf Striped Bass Fishery Management Plan. As part of this partnership
restoration effort, the Panama City Field Office coordinates many activities,
including:
- Annual meeting with the cooperating agencies in order to report progress and to discuss
stocking goals and future directions;
- Stocking strategies and implementation of the stocking plan;
- Transportation of broodstock collected by state resource agencies in Florida and Georgia.

The Panama City Field Office also serves as the lead
for the ACF striped bass technical committee, which
meets annually to discuss implementation status and is a member of
the GSMFC Anadromous
Fish subcommittee.
