Interviews and other published data were also used and these are cited in the footnotes to the Assessment Report.

The OTA analysis found that most of the problems and opportunities of establishing a 200-mile fisheries zone relate to: 1) the need for new types of data which will be required to draw up and maintain fishery regulations and management programs, and 2) the need for new enforcement techniques and equipment to be used by agencies responsible for patrolling the zone. These subjects arc discussed in detail in the Assessment Report, a separate document which surrmarizes the OTA findings and recommendations.
