The New England Fishery Management Council is holding a public meeting via webinar on April 11, 2025, at 1 p.m. The meeting will focus on a review by a subpanel of the Scientific and Statistical Committee, evaluating methods for estimating Atlantic cod discards from the lobster fishery. This review aids the Eastern Gulf of Maine Atlantic cod stock assessment. The public meeting aims to bring the subpanel's recommendations to the full Council for potential action and is accessible to people with disabilities.
