The goal of the Chesapeake Bay American Eel Management Plan is to manage the American eel harvest in the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries so that harvest does not exceed the reproductive capacity of the population to maintain its size from year to year. With this goal, optimum biolobical, economic, and social benefits will be attained. In order tokeet this goal, a number of objectives must be met. These objectives are incorporated into the problem areas and management strategies discussed in this report.
