The Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council has scheduled two public information webinars to provide an update on Atlantic mackerel stock status and rebuilding. The webinars will be held on January 11 and 12, 2022, from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m.

Due to the continued poor condition of the Atlantic mackerel stock as determined by a 2021 management track stock assessment (https://www.mafmc.org/s/c_2021-Atlantic-Mackerel-MT-assessment-report.pdf), the MAFMC is revising the rebuilding plan for Atlantic mackerel. Additional commercial and recreational management measures are being considered. These meetings will review the stock assessment, expected quotas for upcoming years, and potential management measures. Public comment is invited, and will be used to inform the development of management measures.
