SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Due to the continued poor condition of the
Atlantic mackerel stock as determined by a 2021 management track stock
assessment (<a href="https://www.mafmc.org/s/c_2021-Atlantic-Mackerel-MT-assessment-report.pdf">https://www.mafmc.org/s/c_2021-Atlantic-Mackerel-MT-assessment-report.pdf</a>), the MAFMC is revising the rebuilding plan for
Atlantic mackerel. Additional commercial and recreational management
measures are being considered. These meetings will review the stock
assessment, expected quotas for upcoming years, and potential
management measures. Public comment is invited, and will be used to
inform the development of management measures. Final action by the
MAFMC is expected in June 2022, and additional meetings and hearings
are planned before final action (and will be noticed separately).
