State-Federal Commercial Landings Sampling Workshop – September 22-23, 2025
The Northeast Region Coordinating Council (NRCC) is organizing a virtual State-Federal Commercial Landings Sampling Workshop on September 22-23, 2025. Reduced sampling of commercial landings in the Northwest Atlantic has been identified as a significant threat to the integrity of regional stock assessments. This workshop will include presentations on how sampling requests for NRCC and Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission stock assessments are determined, descriptions of state and federal sampling programs, and data handling and storage of collected data. The workshop will focus on identifying and sharing best practices and efficiencies to maximize sampling program effectiveness in an environment of limited resources. Additional details, including an agenda and registration instructions, are located on the workshop webpage. Questions should be directed to Dr. Russell Brown (508-274-4481; Russell.Brown@noaa.gov).
