Agenda
The New England Fishery Management Council's Advisory Panel members are invited to participate in a webinar to learn more about proposed revisions to the NEFMC's Risk Policy. Advisory Panel members will meet to review the Council's current Risk Policy. They will receive a presentation on a newly developed Risk Policy concept and revised Risk Policy Statement. The Members will also learn about plans to implement the revised Risk Policy (if approved by the Council at the September 24-26, 2024 Council meeting). Other business will be discussed, if 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 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.
