the Shrimp Fishery Management Plan Advisory Committee
Workshops Page.
While the workshops are open to the public, no public comment will
be accepted. The workshops are part of a revised fishery management plan
process. The workshops consistsof the fishery management plan advisory
committee and the division plan development team members working together to
discuss issues and refine the draft amendment provided by the division. The advisory committee will assist the division by providing input
for consideration to refine management options in draft Amendment 2 of the N.C.
Shrimp 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 workshops, the division will present a
revised draft of Amendment 2 to the Marine Fisheries Commission later 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 2 to the Shrimp Fishery
Management Plan go to the Shrimp FMP Amendment Information Page.
