Councils and the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission. This is a

New England Fishery Management Council, the Mid-Atlantic Fishery
Management Council, the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council, and
NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service.
DATES: The meeting will be held from 1 p.m. Thursday, August 15 through

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This workshop is being organized by the East
Coast Climate Coordination Group (E3CG), which was formed in 2023 to
oversee implementation of climate-related actions associated with the
East Coast Climate Change Scenario Planning Initiative. This group
consists of leadership representatives from the New England, Mid-
Atlantic, and South Atlantic Fishery Management Councils, the Atlantic
States Marine Fisheries Commission, and NOAA Fisheries.
The purpose of this workshop is to set the stage for integrating
NOAA's Climate, Ecosystems, and Fisheries Initiative (CEFI) into the
fishery management processes of the East Coast Regional Fishery
Management Councils and the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries
Commission. The CEFI is building the operational ocean modeling and
decision support system needed to assist fishery managers as they work
to reduce impacts, increase resilience, and help marine resource users
adapt to changing ocean conditions. This workshop will focus on CEFI
and Council/Commission activities that are already under development.
Discussions at this workshop may inform a follow-up meeting in 2025 to
explore additional ways that CEFI products could be used to inform
management, fill data gaps, and address research priorities.
This workshop will aim to improve managers understanding of the
purpose and capabilities of CEFI, share information about upcoming
management projects related to fisheries resilience under a changing
climate, clarify ongoing and planned draft Northeast and Southeast
Fisheries Science Center CEFI projects, clarify which CEFI projects are
priorities for management, create a shared understanding of management
on-ramps for integrating CEFI into ongoing and planned Council and
Commission initiatives and actions, and identify mechanisms for ongoing
coordination and collaboration.
Participants have been identified by each participating
organization. Others attending the meeting in person are invited to
observe the plenary. Plenary sessions will be broadcast by webinar.
Additional details about the workshop, including webinar details, will
be posted to this page once available: <a href="https://www.mafmc.org/council-events/2024/aug15-16/cefi-workshop">https://www.mafmc.org/council-events/2024/aug15-16/cefi-workshop</a>.
