June 25, 2019 — The following was released by the New England Fishery Management Council:
The New England Fishery Management Council is soliciting applicants to serve on its advisory panels (APs) for the next three years. Terms will run from January 2020 through December 2022. The application deadline is August 31, 2019.
“Our advisory panels are extremely important to our process. They help Council members make more informed decisions,” said Council Executive Director Tom Nies. “We’re looking for applicants who understand their fisheries and are ready to commit to an active role on an AP. While we recognize that being an AP member can be challenging and sometimes time-demanding, the Council benefits from the expertise of its AP members and genuinely appreciates their involvement in the development of our actions.”
