The Pacific Fishery Management Council (Pacific Council) will convene an online meeting of its Ad Hoc Equity and Environmental Justice Committee (EEJC). This online meeting is open to the public and will be held Thursday, August 1, 2024, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Pacific Time. The scheduled ending time for this meeting is an estimate and will adjourn when business for the day is completed.
This meeting is being conducted remotely with a web broadcast that provides the opportunity for remote public comment. In the event an outage occurs or technical issues arise that impact the experience of remote attendees, we will attempt to resolve them but ultimately we cannot guarantee that they will be resolved satisfactorily.
Purpose of the meeting
The EEJC will have an organizational meeting to discuss the NMFS EEJ Strategy Regional Implementation Plan. This committee was formed by the Pacific Council at its April 2023 meeting to assist the Council in addressing EEJ issues and, in particular, to advise the Council on working with NMFS on the Regional Implementation Plan and the geographic strategic plan. No management actions will be decided by the EEJC, but recommendations may be provided to the Pacific Council at its September 18-23, 2024 meeting. A detailed agenda for the webinar will be available on the Pacific Council’s website prior to the meeting.
