SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The purpose of this meeting is for the EOP 
Committee to review and provide feedback on an updated draft summer 
flounder conceptual model, supporting data availability and draft 
management questions. The development of the summer flounder conceptual 
model is part of the Council's Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries 
Management (EAFM) decision framework and considers the high priority 
risk factors affecting summer flounder and its fisheries. The EOP 
Committee reviewed an earlier draft model in September 2019 and 
provided a number of recommendations for the technical workgroup to 
consider and address in a revised model. The EOP Committee will review 
these updates and develop recommendations for full Council 
consideration at the December 2019 Council meeting. A detailed agenda 
and background documents will be made available on the Council's 
website (www.mafmc.org) prior to the meeting.
