SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In collaboration with the South Atlantic
Fishery Management Council, NMFS is embarking on a Management Strategy
Evaluation (MSE) to guide dolphin (i.e., dolphinfish or mahi mahi)
management in the jurisdiction. The MSE will be used to develop a
management procedure that best achieves the suite of management
objectives for the U.S. Atlantic dolphin fishery. Stakeholder input is
necessary for characterizing the management objectives of the fishery
and stock, identifying any uncertainties in the system that should be
built into the MSE analysis, and providing guidance on the
acceptability of the proposed management procedures.
Agenda items for the meeting include: developing an understanding
of management procedures and management strategy evaluation, developing
conceptual management objectives, and clarifying uncertainties that
should be addressed within the framework.
Special Accommodations
These meetings are physically accessible to people with
disabilities. Requests for auxiliary aids should be directed to Cassidy
Peterson (see FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT) 5 days prior to the
meeting.
The times and sequence specified in this agenda are subject to
