Federal fisheries regulators have postponed a forum on enforcement policy next week in Gloucester after criticism from the city’s mayor and others.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced today it is delaying the April 26 meeting. The announcement said officials will work out a new date and revised format with Mayor Carolyn Kirk. A new meeting date is expected within 60 to 90 days.
The Gloucester Daily Times reports that Kirk objected to roles planned in the forum for two regional enforcement officials seen as unfair to the local fishing industry. Kirk did not immediately return a message for comment Wednesday.
