The Pacific Fishery Management Council and the NMFS Northwest and Southwest Fisheries Science Centers are holding an online workshop to review data for new assessments of lingcod and vermilion/sunset rockfishes. The workshop will be held on March 29, 2021, and is open to the public. Although no management decisions will be made during the workshop, the participants will develop recommendations for upcoming assessments scheduled for peer review in July 2021. These assessments will be considered in September 2021 for use in informing management decisions.
