A workshop was convened in Solomons, Maryland, 1-3 April 1998, to consider the potential and advisability of moving towards multispecies fisheries management or of adopting approaches that are clearly compatible with an ecosystem management philosophy. International experts joined regional scientists and managers to explore multispecies issues in plenary sessions and focused working groups.
