The Western Pacific Fishery Management Council is holding a series of meetings on fishery management between March 16 and March 25, 2021. These meetings will primarily take place online via WebEx, but there will be additional host sites in Guam, Saipan, and American Samoa. During the meetings, the Council will discuss various issues, including fishery management plans, species protection measures, and financial reports. A portion of the meeting will be closed to the public due to litigation matters. Some actions may lead to the proposal of new regulations to the U.S. Secretary of Commerce.
Simple Explanation
The Western Pacific Fishery Management Council is having online meetings to talk about how to take care of fish in certain areas. Someone will answer questions not meant for everyone because of a secret reason called "litigation," and they might suggest some new rules for fish protection.
