Agenda
The Skate Advisory Panel will meet to
provide final input on the development
of a white paper regarding thorny skate.
They will consider recent work by the
Plan Development Team on the
performance of skate possession limits
and make recommendations to the
Committee on the development of
possession limit alternatives to consider
along with fishing year 2024–25
specifications. This could include
revising the skate bait and wing
possession limit, increasing the
possession limit for barndoor skate,
and/or allowing smooth skate
possession. Other business may 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

emerging technologies to address
national priorities, including Coast
Guard search and rescue operation
planning and harmful algal bloom
forecasting and detection that—
(i) is comprised of existing high
frequency radar and other sea surface
current mapping infrastructure operated

frequency radar infrastructure in the
United States, starting with areas
demonstrating significant sea surface
current data needs, especially in areas
