The public may listen to the workshop by phone
or listen and view presentations in real-time by joining online. Directions for
calling in by phone or joining the webinar online, including information on
system requirements and testing are available here.
The workshop is open to the
public, but public comment will not be accepted. This workshop is part of a
revised fishery management plan process. It replaces the individual fishery
management plan advisory committee meetings that were held in the past. The
workshop consists of the fishery management plan advisory committee and the
division plan development team members working together to discuss issues and
refine the draft plan. The advisory committee will
assist the division by providing input for consideration to refine management
options in draft Amendment 3 of the N.C. Southern Flounder Fishery Management
Plan. Workshop-style meetings will allow scientists, managers, and stakeholders
on the committee to address questions, comments, and concerns more effectively
and in a less formal setting. Based on the outcome of the
workshop, the division will present a revised draft of Amendment 3 to the Marine
Fisheries Commission in 2021. Additional public review and comment on the draft
plan will then be solicited and is critical input to completing the final plan. For more information on Draft
Amendment 3 to the Southern Flounder Fishery Management Plan and a workshop
