SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The purpose of the webinar is for the EWG to 
discuss and draft comments on the NCSS WRAP. A March 22, 2016 draft of 
the WRAP may be downloaded at http://www.st.nmfs.noaa.gov/ecosystems/climate/rap/western-regional-action-plan. The WRAP is being developed 
to increase the production, delivery, and use of climate-related 
information and will identify priority needs and specific actions to 
implement the NOAA Fisheries Climate Science Strategy in the region 
over the next five years. Based on the webinar discussion, the EWG may 
submit a written report with its comments for the Pacific Council's 
June 23-28, 2016 meeting in Tacoma, WA. The EWG will also discuss 
progress on completing the Coordinated Ecosystem Indicator Review 
Initiative and plan future activities. This initiative is an 
opportunity for the larger Pacific Council family to discuss the Annual 
State of the California Current Ecosystem Report's indicator 
categories, what indicators should be part of the annual report, and 
how they interface with Council-managed fisheries to better support the 
Council's ecosystem-based management policies.
    Although nonemergency issues not contained in the meeting agenda 
may be discussed, those issues may not be the subject of formal action 
during this meeting. Action will be restricted to those issues 
specifically listed in this document and any issues arising after 
publication of this document that require emergency action under 
section 305(c) of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and 
Management Act, provided the public has been notified of the intent to 
take final action to address the emergency.
