scientific efforts to assess the
vulnerability of fish stocks to climate
change. Next, the NEFMC’s EcosystemBased Fisheries Management Committee
will provide an update on its progress
to develop a working example of a
fisheries ecosystem plan. After a lunch
break, the Council will discuss and

The Council is considering a limited
access program for the whiting/hake
fishery via this action. A public
comment period is then scheduled
during which any member of the public
may bring issues forward that relate to
Council business but are not included
on the published agenda for this
meeting. During this morning session,
the Atlantic Herring Committee will
provide a briefing on progress on
Amendment 8 to the Herring FMP, an
action that would address: (1) Localized
depletion; and (2) long-term harvest
strategies for Atlantic herring, including
an acceptable biological catch (ABC)
control rule that explicitly accounts for
herring’s role in the ecosystem. The
Committee report will also include
discussion of plans for a workshop on
a management strategy evaluation of the
herring ABC control rule and a request
that the Council initiate a framework
adjustment to revise the Georges Bank
haddock catch cap accountability
measures. After a lunch break and
during a discussion about NOAA’s
Omnibus Industry-Funded Monitoring
Amendment, the Council also will, in
cooperation with NOAA, discuss and
refine existing alternatives and possibly
select preferred alternatives for target
levels of monitoring coverage in the
Atlantic herring fishery. Approval of the
associated draft Environmental
Assessment will occur at the NEFMC’s
June Council meeting. Under the Sea
Scallop Committee’s agenda item,
discussions are planned in which
NEFMC members will review results of
the Council-sponsored workshop to
address concerns about scallop fishing
pressure in nearshore areas. They will
also review a draft outline and work
plan for the five-year performance
review of the limited access general
category IFQ program and hear
information about increased fishing
activity in the Northern Gulf of Maine
management area. If warranted, the
NEFMC may initiate an action at this
meeting to address this last topic.
Thursday, April 21, 2016
The final meeting day will begin with
a report from the Council’s Habitat
Committee Chair. After a review of work
to date, the committee will ask for
Council approval of the Omnibus DeepSea Coral Amendment management
alternatives for the purpose of further
development and analyses. A
presentation is then scheduled on the
draft Northeast Regional Ocean Plan.
The next report will address plans for a
peer review (fall 2016) of the in-season
discard methodology to be used by
NOAA Fisheries. The report will
include a discussion of the terms of

reference approved by the Northeast
Regional Coordinating Committee.
Following a mid-day lunch break, and
under the auspices of the Groundfish
Committee, there will be: a progress
report on work to evaluate the
groundfish monitoring program, and an
update on other groundfish priorities for
2016, including windowpane flounder
management measures and improving
the process to develop recreational
fishery management measures. The
Council will adjourn after it addresses
any other outstanding business during
the afternoon of April 21st.
Although other non-emergency issues
not contained in this agenda may come
before this Council for discussion, those
issues may not be the subject of formal
action during this meeting. Council
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 MagnusonStevens Act, provided that the public
