SSC workshop: Rapid change in the northern Bering and southern Chukchi Seas - Identifying ecosystem responses and effects on the management of Federal fisheries
February 7-8, 2023
Courtyard Ballroom, Renaissance Hotel, Seattle, WA; and online - zoom info: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/81451130091
The purpose of the workshop is to identify the science and monitoring reuqirements for supporting future Council decision-making under increased uncertainty, given recent extreme environmental events in the northern Bering Sea region. The workshop will consider how species that are currently managed under the Bering Sea Fishery Management Plans will respond to environmental changes and the potential socioeconomic and cultural impacts on those fishermen, communities, and Tribes who rely on these marine resources. The intent is to explore proactive management approaches for achieving management goals in a changing environment, and an assessment of how existing frmaeworks may or may not be able to address ecosystem variability. The report and recommendations from this workshop will be considered by the SSC, AP, and Council at the April 2023 meeting.
Public comment: Written public comment can be submitted ahead of the February workshop. There will also be brief public comment periods each day during the workshop. Finally, the SSC will open second public comment period after the workshop through the end of February for any additional public comments that may inform the development of the workshop report.
Parking: There is a discounted NPFMC parking rate of $22 for the meeting, based on availability. Self park in the hotel lot and bring your receipt to the front desk to get stamped with the discounted rate.
