SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Agenda
The Skate Committee will meet to consider Advisory Panel input and
provide final input on the development of a white paper regarding
thorny skate. They will consider recent work by the Plan Development
Team on the performance of skate possession limits and make
recommendations to the Council on the development of possession limit
alternatives to consider along with fishing year 2024-25
specifications. This could include revising the skate bait and wing
possession limit, increasing the possession limit for barndoor skate,
and allowing smooth skate possession. The Committee would need to
recommend initiating a framework adjustment action if revising species-
specific possession limits is recommended. Other business may be
discussed as necessary.
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

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
