Worksheet to help fishery managers and stakeholders walk through the goal-setting process, which should be done together. Worksheet should be considered a rough framework only. If specific goals and objectives important to your fishery do not seem to fit into any of the categories herein, they should be included anyway. They key is to identify where stakeholders in your system want your fishery to be in the short-, medium- and long-term future, determine if there are tradeoffs between any of those objectives, and then define a finalized list of goals that everyone can agree on. It will also be critical to identify which goals can be worked on now, given current capacity, and what will need to be tackled later on in the adaptive management process.
