and social and economic analyses that could be considered when
evaluating management techniques for reducing regulatory releases and
release mortality; and presentations from NOAA Fisheries' Southeast
Fishery Science Center (SEFSC) staff on alternative mechanisms for
distributing fish to the recreational sector and on the South Atlantic
