Volunteers sought for Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council advisory panels

The Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council is looking for people to fill seats on a number of advisory panels.

The advisory panels provide information and help develop management rules for various fish species in the Gulf of Mexico.

There are 21 advisory panels that need members, including advisory panels on aquaculture, grouper, red drum, red snapper, reef fish and shrimp.

The council is looking for recreational and commercial fishermen to join the panels, as well as seafood dealers and processors, conservationists, scientists, and concerned citizens. 

Advisory panel members serve for two years and can reapply for their positions.

They generally meet no more than once or twice each year and are compensated for travel and per diem expenses for all meetings.

If you would like to apply for a position, we have all of the contact information posted on the news page at oysterradio.com.

Résumé’s and letters will be accepted through April the 5^th.
