NOAA plans to hold a Fisheries Enforcement Forum at 7 p.m. April 26, 2010, at NOAA's Northeast Regional Office, 55 Great Republic Drive, Gloucester, MA.

The purpose of the forum is to provide an opportunity for the fishing industry, NOAA's Office of General Counsel and Office of Law Enforcement to discuss NOAA’s fishery enforcement proceedings and practices and to start an ongoing dialogue outside of an enforcement context.

The agenda includes the questions "Was this meeting useful? Should we hold more meetings here or in other coastal cities? Should these meetings be held annually, bi-annually, or semi-annually?"
