Meeting Information

​The Council will hold public meetings in Narragansett, Rhode Island (RI) and Cape May, New Jersey (NJ) to get public input on potential changes to squid (longfin and Illex) assessment and management. 

In January 2013, the Council held a workshop on squid    (longfin and Illex) assessment and management.  The workshop brought fishermen, managers, and academics together to discuss potential ways to make squid management more responsive to current conditions.  A summary and additional materials from the workshop are available at: http://www.mafmc.org/workshop/squid-management-workshop-january-2013.  

Several recommendations came out of the workshop, including getting additional input from fishermen in convenient locations.  These meetings address that recommendation and will solicit input from attendees on all of the potential ways to improve squid assessment and management that were recommended at the workshop.  For more information, contact Jason Didden.
