SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: During this meeting, the Ecosystem and Ocean

commercial landings reports which are provided to the Mid-Atlantic 
Fishery Management Council (Council) by NOAA Fisheries each year. The 
goal of these reports is to monitor for signs of developing unmanaged 
commercial fisheries in the Mid-Atlantic. This year, the Council will 
consider defining threshold levels of unmanaged landings that would 
trigger further evaluation for consideration of a management response. 
During this webinar meeting, the Ecosystem and Ocean Planning Committee 
and Advisory Panel will review the information provided in prior years' 
reports and provide input to the Council on considerations for defining 
landings thresholds or other metrics to trigger further evaluation for 
a potential management response. An agenda and background materials 
will be posted on the Council's website (www.mafmc.org) prior to the 
meeting.
