The Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council's Summer Flounder, Scup, and Black Sea Bass Advisory Panel will meet via webinar jointly with the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission's Summer Flounder, Scup, and Black Sea Bass Advisory Panel. The purpose of this meeting is to review recent management track stock assessment information for summer flounder, scup, and black sea bass, and to review the recommendations of the Scientific and Statistical Committee and Monitoring Committee for 2022-2023 specifications for all three species. The advisory panel will also be asked to provide input on 2022 commercial management measures such as possession limits, minimum sizes, and gear requirements.
