SAFMC Lines of Communication
The South Atlantic Fishery Management Council (SAFMC) is coming to North Carolina the first week of February to hold a series of in person stakeholder meetings. The meetings will be held nightly from 6-8pm at 4 different locations.
These meetings are meant to allow attendees to actively discuss their perspectives with local council members in an informal setting much different than regular council meetings. The council hopes these meetings will build and strengthen relationships with fishery stakeholders through open dialogue and mutual learning.
The meetings are open to everyone and there is no set agenda. Key takeaways from these meetings will be recorded and presented to the full council and outcomes from these meetings can help identify topics that need to be addressed, set overall workload priorities, and guide active management decisions.
Your attendance at these meetings is important, as it lets the council know we care about our fisheries and we want to help guide future management decisions.
