SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Council will host a presentation from
NOAA Fisheries on research conducted in the Deepwater Marine Protected
Areas in the South Atlantic Region. The presentation will describe the
impact of the protected areas based on data collected from remotely
operated vehicles over the past 17 years by NOAA Fisheries Southeast
Fisheries Science Center. During their research scientists were able to
document fish abundances before and after implementation of fishing
restrictions, comparing protected and unprotected areas. They were also
able to examine the effect of lionfish on reef fish community structure
along the south Atlantic shelf break and compare natural and artificial
habitats to illuminate deep-water grouper hotspots. A question-and-
answer session will follow the presentation. Members of the public will
have the opportunity to participate in the discussion. The presentation
is for informational purposes only and no management actions will be
taken.
Special Accommodations
The meeting is physically accessible to people with disabilities.
Requests for auxiliary aids should be directed to the Council office
