E ditor's N ote : The following statement was submitted to the 1988 U.S. Congressional hearings on the reauthorization of the Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson Act). The statement was written by William W. Fox, Jr., then Professor of Biology and Living Resources and Director of the Cooperative Institute of Marine and Atmospheric Study of the University of Miami, and presently Assistant Administrator of Fisheries, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in the U.S. Department of Commerce. The statement was cosigned by a long list of distinguished marine scientists. While the focus of the statement is specifically on U.S. marine fisheries policy, the principles expressed are of much broader applicability, and will be of general interest to readers of this journal.
