The Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council will convene a Science Workshop of the Goliath Grouper Joint Council Steering Committee Tuesday, March 12, 2013, from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm. The meeting will be held at the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council office, 2203 N. Lois Avenue, Suite 1100, in Tampa, Florida.
The workshop is designed to afford experts the opportunity to offer suggestions on the scientific goals and objectives of any future management of Goliath Grouper. Both the Gulf of Mexico and South Atlantic Fishery Management Councils will provide additional guidance to the Joint Steering Committee as to the direction the Committee will take to meet the objectives of both Councils. Future activities of the Committee will also be discussed.

Actions of the Committee 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.
