The Multispecies (Groundfish)
Committee will hold a joint meeting
with the Multispecies (Monkfish)
Committee to continue development of
Amendment 16 to the Northeast
Multispecies Fishery Management Plan
(FMP). The Multispecies (Groundfish)
Committee will discuss revisions to the
days-at-sea system, including a
suggestion to develop a days-at-sea
performance plan. They will also
discuss a proposal to develop a limited
entry program for party/charter fishing
vessels that fish in the Gulf of Maine.
After these discussions, the Committee
will develop a recommendation for the
Council on which alternative
management systems (including the area
management and point system
proposals discussed at a meeting on
April 20, 2007) should be developed in
Amendment 16 as alternatives that will
be considered for implementation in
fishing year 2009. The Committee may
recommend any of the alternatives for
further development, or may make other
recommendations on the contents of the
amendment. The two Committees will
then discuss the overlap between the
groundfish and monkfish management
plans and will consider whether the two
plans should be merged, or if other
changes are necessary in light of
planned Amendment 16 development.
The Multispecies (Groundfish)
Committee will then review sector
proposals received by the Council and
develop a recommendation for the
Council on what to do with those
proposals. Finally, the Multispecies
(Groundfish) Committee will consider
recommending a standard that the
Regional Administrator can use to
approve additional gears in the Eastern
U.S./Canada Haddock Special Access
Program and in the Category B (regular)
Day-at-Sea Program.
Although non-emergency issues not
contained in this agenda may come
before this group for discussion, those
issues may not be the subject of formal
