Notice of public meeting; rescheduled meeting.
SUMMARY:
NMFS is holding a meeting to discuss the future management of the U.S. West Coast Pacific bluefin tuna (PBF) fishery, including management objectives and a management framework. Given recent developments related to Coronavirus/COVID-19, we have decided to reschedule this meeting originally planned for April 23, 2020. We are taking this step out of an abundance of caution to consider the safety of our visitors. The new date for this meeting is May 19, 2020.
DATES:
The meeting will be held May 19, 2020, from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. PDT, or until business concludes.
ADDRESSES:
The meeting will be held in Room 3400 at the Glenn M. Anderson Federal Building, 501 W. Ocean Blvd., Long Beach, California 90802. Please notify Eric Poncelet (meeting facilitator), at eponcelet@kearnswest.com or (415) 697-0566 by May 4, 2020, if you plan to attend. If interested members of the public cannot reasonably attend the meeting in person, NMFS may provide for a teleconference phone line or webinar for such members if a request is made to the meeting facilitator. NMFS strongly encourages in-person participation in order to facilitate discussion, unless developments related to Coronavirus/COVID-19 restrict attendance in person at that time. See SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION for additional information on attendance, participation instructions, and meeting materials.
