January 22, 2015 — The following was released by the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission:
The final agenda and meeting materials for the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission's 2015 Winter Meeting can be obtained at http://www.asmfc.org/home/2015-winter-meeting; click on the relevant Board/Committee name to access the documents for that Board/Committee. The agenda is subject to change. The agenda reflects the current estimate of time required for scheduled meetings. The Commission may adjust this agenda in accordance with the actual duration of meetings. Interested parties should anticipate meetings starting earlier or later than indicated herein.
For ease of access, all Board and Section materials have been combined into one PDF (http://www.asmfc.org/files/Meetings/Winter2015/CombinedFiles_Jan2015.pdf), with the exception of the Atlantic Menhaden Board and Tautog Board materials due to large file size. These documents as well as all other meeting materials can be accessed individually by Board/Committee within the agenda. When printing the Atlantic Menhaden and Tautog Board materials please note a portion of those materials are stock assessment code and model diagnostics. Specifically, PDF pages 474-526 of the Atlantic Menhaden Board materials and PDF pages 293-1014 of the Tautog Board materials. The combined file also does not include ACCSP Coordinating Council, ACCSP Executive Committee, and NEAMAP Board materials. Some documents may be large, so please be patient downloading. Supplemental materials will be posted to the website next Wednesday, January 28th.
Board/Section meeting proceedings will be broadcast daily via webinar beginning at 8 a.m. on February 3rd, continuing daily until the conclusion of the meeting (expected to be 4 p.m.) on February 5th. The webinar will allow registrants to listen to board/section deliberations and view presentations and motions as they occur. No comments or questions will be accepted via the webinar. Should technical difficulties arise while streaming the broadcast, the boards/sections will continue their deliberations without interruption. We will attempt to resume the broadcast as soon as possible. To register for the webinar, please go to https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/6630124748723038466.
