SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The primary purpose of the GAP webinar held

to prepare for the Pacific Council's September 2024 meeting agenda 
items. The advisory bodies are expected to primarily discuss 
groundfish-related matters during this webinar. As time allows, they 
may potentially discuss ecosystem, Pacific halibut, and administrative 
matters on the Pacific Council agenda as well.

Council's website prior to the meetings. The GAP and GMT may also 
address other assignments relating to groundfish management. No 
management actions will be decided by the GMT and GAP.

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.
