The selective flatfish trawl gear definition would be changed to allow the use of four seams nets.

A detailed agenda for the webinar will be available on the Pacific Council’s Web site prior to the meeting. The GMT may also address other assignments relating to groundfish management. No management actions will be decided by the GMT. The GMT’s task will be to assist in the analysis as necessary.
