SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Agenda
The Committee plans a discussion to designate a Habitat Area of
Particular Concern in Southern New England: Articulate the problem and
rationale for action, discuss potential objectives, and identify
information sources to consider. Potentially recommend that the Council
initiate a framework adjustment at their next meeting. Also on the
agenda is the Northern Edge habitat management: Discuss a white paper
documenting new information to consider should the Council wish to
revise habitat management areas and restrictions on fishing in this
region. The Committee can request additional information or analysis
that would support future Council decision making on this issue.
Because this action is not a 2022 work priority, the next Council
decision on Northern Edge habitat management would be related to future
prioritization of this work.
The committee will also review a draft letter expressing Council
concerns about the Amitie telecommunications cable project. Other
business may be discussed as necessary.
Although non-emergency issues not contained in this agenda may come
before this group for discussion, those issues may not be the subject
of formal action during these meetings. 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 Magnuson-Stevens Act, provided the public has
been notified of the Council's intent to take final action to address
the emergency.
