The New England Fishery Management Council is organizing a public meeting via webinar for its Scientific and Statistical Committee Subpanel to discuss issues impacting New England fisheries in the exclusive economic zone. The meeting is set for April 11, 2025, starting at 1 p.m. The subpanel will review research on Atlantic cod discards from the lobster fishery and consider how these figures can be integrated into the Eastern Gulf of Maine Atlantic cod stock assessment. Recommendations from this subpanel will be submitted to the full council for potential action, and the event will be accessible to people with disabilities.
Simple Explanation
The New England Fishery Management Council is having a web meeting on April 11, 2025, to talk about fishing and help make sure there are enough fish, like the Atlantic cod, in the sea. They will think about new ways to count fish taken out of the sea to understand better how many are left.
