Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of a public meeting.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Pacific Fishery Management Council (Pacific Council) and 
the NOAA's Southwest Fisheries Science Center (SWFSC) will convene a 
workshop to develop methods for conducting stock assessments of short-
lived coastal pelagic species (CPS) on the U.S. West Coast. The meeting 
is open to the public.

DATES: The meeting will be held Monday, May 2, 2016 through Thursday, 
May 5, 2016. The meeting will begin at 10 a.m. the first day, and at 8 
a.m. each subsequent day, Pacific Standard Time. The meeting will 
conclude at 5 p.m. each day, or when business for the day has been 
completed.

ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held at the Southwest Fisheries Science 
Center Pacific Room, 8901 La Jolla Shores Drive, La Jolla, CA 92037.
    Council address: Pacific Fishery Management Council, 7700 NE. 
Ambassador Place, Suite 101, Portland, OR 97220; telephone: (503) 820-
2280.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kerry Griffin, Staff Officer; 
telephone: (503) 820-2409.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The primary purpose of the workshop is to 
develop methods for conducting stock assessments of short-lived CPS on 
the U.S. West Coast, with an emphasis on the central subpopulation of 
northern anchovy. The workshop will include a discussion of how stock 
assessments and/or single point biomass estimates can be used in 
management. The intent is to provide recommendations to the SWFSC for 
use in conducting CPS stock assessments, especially for data-limited 
stocks.
