The main purpose of the meeting is for the Advisory Panel (AP) to create a Fishery Performance Report that includes advisor input on specifications and management measures for spiny dogfish. While a management track assessment was used in 2023 to set 2024-2026 specifications, multi-year specifications are reviewed each year. The MAFMC will consider the Fishery Performance Report later in 2024 when 2025 spiny dogfish specifications are reviewed. Public comments will also be taken.
