A Look At North Carolina’s Inshore Fishery Status….FINDEX Power Ratings

FINDEX is our proprietary index that utilizes the best available scientific data to gauge whether a species’ status is trending up or down. The calculations compare the desired management condition of a fish stock with its existing condition.

The graphic below lists 10 fisheries in order of their FINDEX value. A value that reaches 100% would indicate a “Stable” fishery, while a value greater than 200% suggests a fishery has reached “World-Class” status. Each week, we will highlight a different FINDEX species profile on our social media platforms. But for the time being, click below to see all 10 profiles today!
