Overview
Department
of Marine and Wildlife Resources
(DMWR) American Samoa Government
The American Samoa Department of Marine and Wildlife Resources (DMWR), formerly the Office of Marine Resources, located in Pago Pago on Tutuila, has been collecting commercial fisheries data from the local fleet on Tutuila since the early 1970's and from the Manu'a Islands since 1983. Most data collected over the years have been from the commercial fleet, but beginning in October 1985, DMWR's data collection programs were modified to include data on recreational and subsistence fisheries as well.
