August 8, 2019 — The following was released by the Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council:
The Council’s Spiny Dogfish AP will meet via webinar on Monday, August 19, 2019 from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. The meeting will examine recent fishery performance before the Council reviews specifications, and will gather input on possible modifications to the 6,000-pound federal spiny dogfish trip limit. An action to consider trip limit changes is listed in the Council’s “Possible Additions” for 2019 deliverables, and the Council is seeking input as it decides how to proceed.
Anyone interested in the spiny dogfish trip limit is encouraged to participate – there will be opportunities for input by both the Advisory Panel and the public.
