The Ecosystem and Ocean Planning (EOP) Committee of the Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council will meet on Wednesday, November 13, 2019, from 9:00 A.M. through 12:00 P.M. The meeting will take place over webinar with a telephone-only connection option. Webinar connection details will be posted on this page prior to the meeting.
The purpose of this meeting is for the EOP Committee to review and provide feedback on an updated draft summer flounder conceptual model, supporting data availability and draft management questions. The development of the summer flounder conceptual model is part of the Council’s Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Management (EAFM) decision framework and considers the high priority risk factors affecting summer flounder and its fisheries. The EOP Committee reviewed an earlier draft model in September 2019 and provided a number of recommendations for the technical workgroup to consider and address in a revised model. The EOP Committee will review these updates and develop recommendations for full Council consideration at the December 2019 Council meeting.
