Agenda
The Groundfish Advisory Panel will meet to discuss development of

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

priority). As a part of the transition plan, there will be a white

discussion. They will review the current list of Council research
