ACTION: Notice of public meeting.
The Mid-Atlantic Fishery
Management Council’s (Council)
Mackerel, Squid, and Butterfish
Advisory Panel (AP) will meet to
develop recommendations for Georges
Bank yellowtail flounder accountability
measures.

the Hilton Garden Inn, One Thurber

Management Council, 800 N. State

telephone: (302) 526–5255.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Due to
declining stock status, Georges Bank
yellowtail flounder catch is likely to be
severely restricted in coming years. The
small-mesh whiting and squid fisheries
have bycatch of Georges Bank yellowtail
flounder that will likely need to be
mitigated as part of a variety of fishing
restrictions. The Whiting Advisory
Panel is meeting at the same time and
the two advisory panels will meet
jointly since the small-mesh measures
are likely to affect both the whiting and
squid fisheries. The goal of the meeting
is to develop recommendations for
Georges Bank yellowtail flounder
accountability measures to be
considered as alternatives in
Multispecies Framework Adjustment 51
and/or a future action in the Mackerel,
Squid, and Butterfish Fishery
Management Plan. Accountability
measures can either be proactive, which
prevent annual catch limit overages or
reactive, which pay back past overages
and/or prevent future overages.
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
listed in this notice and any issues
arising after publication of this notice
that require emergency action under
section 305(c) of the Magnuson-Stevens

Act, provided the public has been
