Some Regional Fisheries Management Organizations (RFMO) have created official working groups dedicated to discussions about harvest strategies, simultaneously providing an opportunity for education and capacity building, as well as solicitation of input and feedback. In this way, the working groups help to steer the development process. These groups typically meet intersessionally, and often include scientists, managers, industry stakeholders, and NGO representatives. These groups are an essential part of harvest strategy development, helping to facilitate a conversation that is focused on laying out objectives, timelines, MSE workplans, and educational materials that promote harvest strategy adoption.
