A review panel consisting of three Mid-Atlantic Council Scientific and Statistical Committee (SSC) members, three New England Council SSC members, and two assessment scientists representing the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission will meet on May 22-24, 2024 in Narragansett, RI to review mitigation plans for 11 fishery independent surveys. These mitigation plans are intended to address the impacts from offshore wind energy development in order for NOAA Fisheries to continue to deliver precise, accurate, and timely surveys, assessments, data, and advice. This effort is part of the Federal Survey Mitigation Strategy.
