New England Council to Hold Seven In-Person Public Information Workshops on Ecosystem-Based Fishery Management
The New England Fishery Management Council has scheduled seven public information workshops to help inform fishermen and other stakeholders about ecosystem-based fishery management (EBFM) and its potential application to a Georges Bank Ecosystem Production Unit. The Council has been referring to this approach as an example Fishery Management Plan for Georges Bank (eFEP).
Given the potential implications for Mid-Atlantic fisheries and stakeholders, two of the workshops will be held in Mid-Atlantic ports (Montauk, NY on November 9 and Manahawkin, NJ on November 10). Learn more and register at the links below.
