Agenda

Friday, September 20, 2019

The Council is hosting a webinar for the presentation of the draft Environmental Impact Statement for the BSAI Halibut abundance-based management (ABM) prohibited species catch limits. The purpose of the webinar is to provide the public with an understanding of the contents of the analysis and provide an opportunity for clarifying questions with the analysts. This will provide the public with a greater understanding of the analysis and help facilitate written public comments to the Council prior to the written comment deadline for the October Council meeting. Analysts will provide a presentation on the analysis, which will be web broadcast via Adobe Connect. Following the presentation, there will be a question and answer period via online submissions of the questions through meetings.npfmc.org/Meeting/Details/905, as well as in-person for public attending the meeting.

The Agenda is subject to change, and the latest version will be posted at meetings.npfmc.org/Meeting/Details/905 prior to the meeting, along with meeting materials.
