SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Agenda
The Groundfish Recreational Advisory Panel will meet to discuss
development of draft specifications and measures: Status determination
criteria, rebuilding plans for Gulf of Maine (GOM) cod and Southern New
England/Mid-Atlantic (SNE/MA) winter flounder, FY2023-24 US/CA total
allowable catches, FY2023-24 specifications: Georges Bank (GB)
yellowtail flounder and GB cod (including a catch target for the
recreational fishery), FY2023-25 specifications for 14 stocks,
additional measures to promote stock rebuilding for GOM cod and SNE/MA
winter flounder, and revised acceptable biological catch control rules,
in consultation with the Scientific and Statistical Committee. They
will also discuss a Council priority to develop a transition plan for
Atlantic cod management from the current two management unit to up to
five management units (multi-year priority). As a part of the
transition plan, there will be a white paper on potential approaches to
allocate ``Georges Bank cod'' to the recreational fishery delivered in
2022 to inform the 2023 priorities discussion.
The panel will review the current list of Council research
priorities and suggest changes or additions to the list. Other
business, as necessary.

before this Council for discussion, those issues may not be the subject
of formal action during this meeting. Council action will be restricted

address the emergency. The public also should be aware that the meeting
