January 1, 2015 — Gloucester's Fisheries Commission will sit down with the city council later this month to co-host a public forum on the state of the fishing industry and how Gloucester's government might best help to preserve and bolster it.
The forum is slated for Friday, Jan. 16, at 1 p.m. in City Hall's Kyrouz Auditorium, according to City Council president Paul McGeary, who will co-host the forum along with Fisheries Commission Chairman Mark Ring.
McGeary said that public officials, representatives of the fishing industry — both on the water and from onshore businesses — and agencies dealing with issues related to the fishing industry will all be accorded scheduled time slots to give testimony or make presentations.
Members of the public will also be accorded time for comment following the scheduled presentations, McGeary said.
