Agenda

    The Herring Advisory Panel will receive a report from the Herring 
Plan Development Team (PDT) covering these agenda topics. They will 
revisit Amendment 8 Inshore Midwater Trawl Closure--suggest revisions 
to a draft problem statement and discuss preliminary PDT work on 
Committee tasking. The Panel will discuss a potential change in 2023 
Council priorities to develop river herring and shad time/area 
closures. They will make recommendations to the Herring Committee, as 
appropriate, and discuss other business, as necessary.
    Although non-emergency issues not contained on the agenda may come 
before this Council for discussion, those issues may not be the subject 
of formal action during this meeting. Council action will be restricted
