Provide information on “best fishing practices” for recreational fishermen, including tips on how to identify legally harvested scallops, where to access the water, how to be safe while harvesting, and how to minimize impact on the habitat. This includes (1) Improving outreach to let people know that recreational permits are required to harvest shellfish, (2) Using the outreach opportunity as a way to improve community awareness of the issues facing the shellfisheries, and (3) Including information about how the money raised by license sales helps the fishery and the island economy.
