The New England Fishery Management Council is organizing four public workshops to gather feedback on the Atlantic Sea Scallop Fishery from February 27 to March 25, 2025. These workshops will contribute to the creation of a strategic plan for managing the fishery over the next 3-5 years. Three workshops will take place in person, in Maine, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania, while the final meeting will be held online via webinar. The meetings are accessible to people with disabilities, and the discussions will inform the goals and objectives of the future scallop fishery management plan.
Simple Explanation
The people who help decide how to take care of sea scallops are having some meetings where anyone can share their ideas about how to do this better. They want to hear what everyone thinks so they can make a good plan for the next few years.
