      </gmd:abstract>
      <gmd:purpose>
        <gco:CharacterString>The information collected by FINSS provides the underpinnings of science products that are ultimately used in resource management context and helps ensure that critical agency datasets from the fishery­-independent surveys are effectively collected and consistently reported to the Congress and all other stakeholders. The system is accessible by the public through digital mapping and reporting applications.</gco:CharacterString>
