SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In collaboration with the South Atlantic 
Fishery Management Council, NMFS is embarking on a Management Strategy 
Evaluation (MSE) to guide dolphin (i.e., dolphinfish or mahi mahi) 
management in the jurisdiction. The MSE will be used to develop a 
management procedure that best achieves the suite of management 
objectives for the U.S. Atlantic dolphin fishery. Stakeholder input is 
necessary for characterizing the management objectives of the fishery 
and stock, identifying any uncertainties in the system that should be 
built into the MSE analysis, and providing guidance on the 
acceptability of the proposed management procedures.
    Agenda items for the meeting include: developing an understanding 
of management procedures and management strategy evaluation, developing 
conceptual management objectives, and clarifying uncertainties that 
should be addressed within the framework.

Special Accommodations

    These meetings are physically accessible to people with 
disabilities. Requests for auxiliary aids should be directed to Cassidy 
Peterson (see FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT) 5 days prior to the 
meeting.

    Note:  The times and sequence specified in this agenda are
