Purpose of the meeting

The purpose of the SSC Ecosystem-Based Management and Groundfish Subcommittee meeting is to review an approach being developed by the Council’s Ecosystem Workgroup to develop ecosystem risk evaluation tables for several example groundfish species, their potential use in the Council process, and any intersection with the SSC’s scientific uncertainty buffers and stock category designations which result from the stock assessment process.

No management actions will be decided by the meeting participants. The participants’ role will be development of recommendations and reports for consideration by the SSC and the Pacific Council at a future Council meeting.
