The Coastal Pelagic Species (CPS) Subcommittee of the Pacific Fishery Management Council’s (Pacific Council’s) Scientific and Statistical Committee (SSC) will hold an online meeting. The meeting is open to the public, and will be held Wednesday, February 26, 2025, beginning at 9 a.m. and continuing until 1 p.m. Pacific Time or until business for the day has been 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 Subcommittee will review the draft update stock assessment for Pacific sardine in preparation for full SSC and Council review at the April 2025 Pacific Council meeting. The Subcommittee will also discuss a correlation analysis between CalCOFI-based temperature and sardine population dynamics. At its April 2025 meeting, the Pacific Council is scheduled to use the update stock assessment and any new information regarding the CalCOFI temperature relationship to set harvest specifications and management measures for the 2025 – 2026 Pacific sardine fishery.
Review of the update assessment will be completed by members of the CPS subcommittee, per the Terms of Reference (TOR) for the Coastal Pelagic Species Stock Assessment Review Process
Terms of Reference for the Costal Pelagic Species Stock Assessment Review Process (June 2024)
