SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Agenda
The joint SSC Subpanel, comprised of SSC members from both the New
England and Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Councils, will meet to
review and provide input on initial work products related to the
Northeast Regional Marine Fish Habitat Assessment (NRHA). The panel
will review the workplan, methods used, and inferences made from the
single species and community level function models under development.
The subpanel will consider the overall utility of the NRHA including
the use of specific products in stock assessment, habitat management
and conservation (including Essential Fish Habitat and Habitat Area of
Particular Concern designations), and ecosystem approaches for the
Councils. Finally, the subpanel will provide input on how to present
and communicate the data and analyses to various end users. The
subpanel will provide a report summarizing their input. This input will
be provided directly to the NRHA habitat assessment/modeling team as
well as the New England and Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Councils.
There will be opportunities for public input and comment.
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 Magnuson-Stevens Act, provided the public
has been notified of the Council's intent to take final action to
address the emergency. The public also should be aware that the meeting
will be recorded. Consistent with 16 U.S.C. 1852, a copy of the
