The Council will hold a public webinar on Thursday, April 7, 2016 from 7 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. to gather input on spiny dogfish trip limits. The Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission has requested that the trip limit be increased to 6,000 pounds, and this meeting will gather public input on the potential impacts of changing the spiny dogfish trip limit. The meeting will be held via webinar with a telephone-only connection option (you will need to call on the phone to participate).
