Summer Flounder, Scup, and Black Sea Bass Monitoring Committee Meeting (Webinar)

The Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council's Summer Flounder, Scup, and Black Sea Bass Monitoring Committee will meet via webinar on Thursday, May 28, 2020, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., to discuss management measures for all three species. Specifically, the Monitoring Committee will discuss the ongoing Recreational Reform Initiative, which considers potential improvements to the process used to develop recreational management measures. They will also discuss potential changes to the February 2021 black sea bass recreational fishery to account for recent revisions to recreational data. They will also discuss commercial mesh size exemptions for summer flounder and a planned evaluation of commercial scup discards.
