Atlantic Herring Plan Development Team, ASMFC's Technical Committee and
Atlantic Herring Advisory Panel. They will review draft Atlantic
herring specifications and river herring and shad catch caps for
fishing years 2025-2027 and recommend preferred alternatives to the
Council. In response to the results of the 2024 management track stock
assessment and to meet conservation and management objectives for
Atlantic herring, possibly continue discussion on whether to recommend
to the Council additional management measures, including the
possibility of initiating a framework adjustment or considering in-
season adjustments for 2024 and 2025 catch limits, along with any other
recommendations as appropriate. The
