Agenda
The Council is holding three in-person workshops and a webinar to
solicit input from the public on their vision for the Atlantic Sea
Scallop Fishery to help inform the development of a 3-5 year strategic
plan for managing the scallop fishery. This plan will be used by the
Council to develop work schedules and allocate resources needed to make
changes to the fishery management plan (FMP). Community and public
input are essential to the development of goals and objectives that
will be included in the Council's strategic plan for the scallop
fishery.
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 these meetings. 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 under section 305(c) of the Magnuson-Stevens Act, provided the
public has been notified of the Council's intent to take final action
to 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
recording is available upon request.
