SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Mid-Atlantic Fisheries Management

Atlantic Bluefish AP. The purpose of this meeting is to discuss recent 
performance of the commercial and recreational fisheries for Atlantic 
bluefish. Council staff will work with the AP to write the 2015 Fishery 
Performance Report. The intent of this report is to facilitate a venue 
for structured input from the AP members for the Atlantic Bluefish 
specifications process, including recommendations by the MAFMC's 
Scientific and Statistical Committee (SSC). The MAFMC and the ASMFC 
will consider the Fishery Performance Report in August when setting 
fishery specifications (i.e., catch and landings limits and management 
measures) for 2016-2018.
    Although non-emergency issues not contained in this agenda may come 
before this group for discussion, in accordance with the Magnuson-
Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act), 
those issues may not be the subject of formal action during this 
meeting. Actions will be restricted to those issues specifically 
identified in this notice and any issues arising after publication of 
this notice that require emergency action under Section 305(c) of the 
Magnuson-Stevens Act, provided the public has been notified of the 
Council's intent to take final action to address the emergency.
