Advisory Panels to provide input on the development of options for the 
ongoing Recreational Sector Separation Amendment to the Summer 
Flounder, Scup, and Black Sea Bass Fishery Management Plan and the 
Bluefish Fishery Management Plan. This amendment considers options for 
managing for-hire recreational fisheries separately from other 
recreational fishing modes (referred to as sector separation or mode 
management), as well as options related to for-hire permit and 
reporting requirements for these four species. Input from the Advisory 
Panels will be considered by the Fishery Management Action Team/Plan 
Development Team (FMAT/PDT) for this action as they further develop 
relevant management approaches. The Advisory Panels' comments will also 
be communicated to the Council and the Commission's Policy Board when 
they meet to consider a range of alternatives in December 2025. 
Additional information about this action and the issues under
