🇬🇧 English

The Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council (MAFMC) has announced a public meeting of its Tilefish Advisory Panel. This panel provides stakeholder input and recommendations on the management of tilefish species — specifically golden tilefish and blueline tilefish — in federal waters of the Mid-Atlantic region. The advisory panel typically convenes to review stock assessment data, discuss quota allocations, evaluate existing management measures, and provide guidance to the full Council ahead of formal rulemaking sessions. Participants generally include commercial fishermen, recreational anglers, seafood dealers, and other affected stakeholders. This notice is procedural in nature and does not announce new regulations. It serves to provide the public with advance notice of the meeting date, location, and agenda topics in accordance with the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act's requirements for public transparency. Members of the public are typically permitted to attend and may have an opportunity to provide oral or written comment during designated periods in the meeting agenda.
