The Individual Fishing Quota (IFQ) Working Group is a comprised of members of the Marine Fish Conservation Network who have a direct interest and concern about how IFQ programs are developed throughout the country. The Working Group seeks to actively engage fishermen, fishing communities, and the public in our efforts to promote national standards for all future IFQ programs. National standards are necessary to protect the livelihood of fishermen, fishing communities, and the marine environment.

The Marine Fish Conservation Network (Network) is the largest national coalition solely dedicated to promoting the long-term sustainability of marine fish populations by pressing for changes in the way we manage our ocean's fish. With more than 175 members - including environmental organizations, commercial and recreational fishing associations, aquariums, and marine science groups - the Network uses its distinct voice and the best available science to educate policymakers, fishing interests, and the public about the need for sound conservation and better management practices.
