The items
of discussion in the committee’s agenda
are as follows:
1. The Joint Groundfish/Scallop
Committee of the New England Fishery
Management Council will meet to begin
the preparation of a management action
to facilitate the transfer of yellowtail
flounder allocations between the
groundfish and scallop industries.
Yellowtail flounder is a target species
for groundfish vessels, and is an
incidental catch for scallop vessels.
With the implementation of Annual
Catch Limits in 2010, fishing
opportunities of both fleets can be
constrained by decisions on the how
yellowtail flounder is allocated.
Developing a mechanism to allow the
transfer of yellowtail flounder between
these fisheries may facilitate their
respective activities and may reduce
allocation issues between the two fleets.
The Committee will develop a problem
statement for the action, identify
measurable goals and objectives, and
will identify management alternatives.
One alternative the Committee will
probably develop would allow the
formation of sectors within the scallop
fishery for the sole purpose of
exchanging yellowtail flounder with
groundfish sectors established under the
provisions of the Northeast Multispecies
Fishery Management Plan. Other
alternatives may also be developed by
the Committee. Committee
recommendations will be presented to
the Council at a future date.
2. Other business may also be
discussed.
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
action during this meeting. Action will
be restricted to those issues specifically
identified in this notice and any issues
arising after publication of this notice
that require emergency action under
section 305(c) of the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act, provided the public has been
notified of the Council’s intent to take
final action to address the emergency.
