Advisors Needed

 

If you ever thought about getting involved in the fisheries management process now is a great time to get involved. There are over a dozen open advisory committee/panel (AC/AP) seats for both the North Carolina Marine Fisheries Commission (MFC) and the South Atlantic Fisheries Management Council (SAFMC). Advisory seats available range from general management pertaining to your area, such as the Northern and Southern ACs for the MFC, to more specific AC/APs that look at habit, snapper/grouper, and mackerel just to name a few.

 

Serving as an advisor helps you understand the process better and helps you to educate others in your community on what is happening as management decisions progress. The more we can educate ourselves and the more people we can get involved and active the better we can fight together to keep our fishing communities working.
