Abstract
NMFS is requesting information about ongoing and proposed research in the Stellwagen and Georges Bank Dedicated Habitat Research Areas, which were established in 2018. The regulations require the NMFS Regional Administrator to initiate a review, consult with the New England Fishery Management Council about, and evaluate the use of the Dedicated Habitat Research Areas 3 years after their establishment. This action is intended to collect information to support the review of the Dedicated Habitat Research Areas and to determine whether they should be maintained. Response to this request for information is voluntary.
