SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

[top] The purpose of the Workgroup is to develop potential improvements to SRFC assessment and management for Pacific Council consideration that would evaluate current management measures, provide a workplan to accomplish the work, and eventually provide new or

updated products for Pacific Council consideration. The first meeting will likely focus on collecting and summarizing relevant information on SRFC stock status, reviewing the current models and methods used for harvest management, and identifying data gaps. A draft outline of the workplan could be developed for discussion at the next meeting. At that second meeting, the Workgroup could refine the workplan and timeline, and assign tasks to address each item, coordinate analysis as needed, and prepare for the upcoming Pacific Council meeting.

Although non-emergency issues not contained in the meeting agenda may be discussed, those issues may not be the subject of formal action during this meeting. Action will be restricted to those issues specifically listed in this document and any issues arising after publication of this document that require emergency action under section 305(c) of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, provided the public has been notified of the intent to take final action to address the emergency.

Special Accommodations

Requests for sign language interpretation or other auxiliary aids should be directed to Mr. Kris Kleinschmidt ( kris.kleinschmidt@noaa.gov ; (503) 820-2412) at least 10 days prior to the meeting date.
