Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management to Convene its ABC Control Rule Working Group
The Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council will convene its ABC Control Rule Working Group via a webinar. The webinar meeting will convene Tuesday, July 31, 2012, beginning at 9:00 am, concluding no later than noon eastern time.
The ABC Control Rule Working Group will meet to review an alternative method of assigning appropriate risk of overfishing levels to stocks based on the status, productivity, susceptibility, and resiliency of the stock. The working group will also review its previous recommendations for revisions to the ABC control rule, as well as evaluate other possible changes.
A copy of the agenda and related materials can be obtained by calling the Council office at
813-348-1630. Materials will also be available for download from the ABC Control Rule Working Group folder on the Council's FTP site, which is accessible from the Quick Links box in the left navigation column of the Council web site - www.gulfcouncil.org.
Although other non-emergency issues not on the agenda may come before the group for discussion, in accordance with the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, those issues may not be the subject of formal action during this meeting. Actions of the group will be restricted to those issues specifically identified in the agenda and any issues arising after publication of this notice that require emergency action under Section 305(c) of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, provided the public has been notified of the Council's intent to take action to address the emergency.
These webinars are accessible to people with disabilities. Requests for sign language interpretation or other auxiliary aides should be directed to Kathy Pereira at least five working days prior to the meeting.
