The purpose of the SCS7 meeting is for participants to discuss various aspects of addressing Ecosystem-Based Fishery Management (EBFM), including ecosystem indicators, multi-species modeling and addressing distributional shifts in managed stocks. to better inform management decision-making by the eight Regional Fishery Management Councils and NMFS. No management actions will be decided by the participants attending the SCS7 meeting. The participants' role will be the development of findings, which will be captured in proceedings of the meeting. These proceedings will be provided to the Council Coordination Committee and posted on the U.S. Regional Fishery Management Councils' website.
