This is an important update from the New England Fishery Management Council about its December 3-5, 2019 meeting in Newport, RI.
WHAT’S GOING ON: Due to the winter storm that is impacting the region, the Council will begin its meeting at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, December 3 instead of 9 a.m. as originally scheduled in order to allow for additional travel time.
