certificates in December 2021. To be

courses is available online at https://

The Ecosystem-Based Fishery
Management (EBFM) Committee and
Advisory Panel Chairs will meet as
stakeholders to provide guidance for the
development of a Prototype
Management Strategy Evaluation
(pMSE) for Georges Bank EBFM. They
will also review and modify
management objectives and
performance metrics to be used for the
pMSE as well as identify and discuss
management alternatives to be tested by
the pMSE including combinations of
monitoring, species complex
aggregations, assessment methods, and
types of control rules.
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.

Workshop Objectives
khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
73761
The Safe Handling, Release, and
Identification Workshops are designed
to teach longline and gillnet fishermen
the required techniques for the safe
handling and release of entangled and/
or hooked protected species, such as sea
turtles, marine mammals, smalltooth
sawfish, Atlantic sturgeon, and
prohibited sharks. In an effort to
improve reporting, the proper
identification of protected species and
prohibited sharks will also be taught at
these workshops. Additionally,
individuals attending these workshops
will gain a better understanding of the
requirements for participating in these
fisheries. The overall goal of these
workshops is to provide participants
with the skills needed to reduce the
mortality of protected species and
prohibited sharks, which may prevent
additional regulations on these fisheries
in the future.
