The South Atlantic Fishery Management Council is set to host a series of port meetings along the Atlantic coast throughout 2024. These meetings aim to gather vital information on the Atlantic king and Spanish mackerel fisheries, in response to requests from the Council's Mackerel Cobia Advisory Panel (AP). Two meetings are being held in Georgia.
The AP emphasized the need for a focused examination of these fisheries, particularly as changing environmental conditions impact fishery dynamics. In light of this, the Council is providing an interactive platform where fishery participants can discuss their perspectives directly with local Council members and other stakeholders.
The port meetings will address several key objectives:
Pooler, Ga.
Townsend, Ga.
The South Atlantic Council recognizes that stakeholder input is crucial for effective management of these fisheries. These port meetings provide a unique opportunity for stakeholders involved in the king and Spanish mackerel fisheries to share their insights and contribute to shaping the future of these important fisheries.
