Agenda
The Advisory Panel will meet to
review Framework 8 to the Atlantic
Herring Fishery Management Plan and
recommend final preferred alternatives.
Framework 8 is considering fishery
specifications for fishing years 2021–23
and adjusting measures in the herring
plan that potentially inhibit the
mackerel fishery from achieving
optimum yield. There will also be an
initial discussion of potential work
priorities for 2021 for the herring plan.
Other business will be discussed as
necessary.
Although non-emergency issues not
contained on the 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 the public has
been notified of the Council’s intent to
take final action to address the
emergency. The public also should be
aware that the meeting will be recorded.
Consistent with 16 U.S.C. 1852, a copy
of the recording is available upon
request.
This meeting is physically accessible
