include presentations from NMFS staff outlining potential options. 
There will be ample opportunity for input and/or questions from the

action and mechanisms to ensure continuing and extensive public input,

    These workshops are not part of any specific rulemaking process; 
however, where relevant, input from the workshops will be taken into 
consideration when developing future proposed rules for these 
fisheries.
