The New England Fishery Management Council is holding a public meeting of its Scallop Advisory Panel via webinar on January 21, 2021. The panel will discuss upcoming changes to scallop fishery regulations, such as catch limits and fishing areas for the 2021 and 2022 fishing years. They will also address issues with certain fish species and consider changes to scallop work priorities. The panel's recommendations will be presented to the full Council for potential action.
Simple Explanation
The people in charge of taking care of fish in New England are having an online meeting to talk about how many scallops fishermen can catch and where they can catch them in 2021 and 2022. They'll think about problems with other fish and decide what their main jobs should be, and then they will tell the bigger group what they think.
