Agenda
The Monkfish Committee and Advisory panel will meet to review and
discuss the 2024 Monkfish Fishery Performance draft report. They will
review the non-regulatory improvements made to the Monkfish Research
Set-Aside (RSA) program to date, based on recommendations of the 2023
Monkfish RSA Working Group. The group will receive an update from the
2023-2024 Monkfish RSA project participants including an overview of
work to date and an opportunity to provide feedback to the project
participants. The Committee and Advisory Panel will also discuss the
possibility of recommending a pause to the Monkfish RSA RFP
solicitation until the program's underlying economic and programmatic
issues are addressed. 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
