January 7, 2022 — The New England Fishery Management Council will hold two additional meetings in January on the development of a prototype management strategy evaluation (pMSE) that’s intended to demonstrate how the MSE process can be used to evaluate ecosystem-based fishery management (EBFM) approaches within a Georges Bank Ecosystem Production Unit.
The meetings will be held in person with no webinar option. They are scheduled for:
• Friday, January 6, 2023 at the Radisson Airport Hotel in Warwick, RI – here is the meeting notice; and
• Friday, January 20, 2023, also at the Radisson Airport Hotel in Warwick, RI – here is the meeting notice.
The pMSE work is being overseen by the Council’s EBFM Committee and the chairs of each of the Council’s advisory panels, who collectively are serving as fishery stakeholders. The project is being conducted with contracted support from the UMass Dartmouth School for Marine Science and Technology (SMAST).
