SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Drs. Harvey and Garfield of the NMFS 
Northwest and Southwest Fisheries Science Centers lead NOAA's CCIEA 
Team, which produces the Ecosystem Status Report. It is presented to 
the Pacific Council annually at its March meeting. This annual 
reporting process was established through the Pacific Council's Fishery 
Ecosystem Plan. These annual reports present a summary of 
environmental, biological, economic, and social indicators that give a 
snapshot of current ecosystem health. This information provides context 
for fishery management decisions taken by the Pacific Council 
throughout the year. The Pacific Council also regularly provides 
feedback to the CCIEA Team on potential improvements to the Report. 
This presentation is aimed at a broad audience of Council members, 
advisory body members, and the public. The CCIEA Team may follow up 
with more targeted discussions with advisory bodies during their March 
meetings, upon request. Drs. Harvey and Garfield will also brief the 
Council directly at its March 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.
