Virginia north).

DATES: The meeting will be held Thursday, June 9, 2016 at 7 p.m.

ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held via webinar with a telephone-only 
audio connection option: http://mafmc.adobeconnect.com/bltls/.
    Council address: Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council, 800 N. 
State St., Suite 201, Dover, DE 19901; telephone: (302) 674-2331.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In April 2016, the Council recommended 2017 
recreational measures for blueline tilefish off the Mid-Atlantic with 
an open season from May 1 to October 31 and bag limits of 7 fish per 
person for inspected for-hire vessels, 5 fish per person for 
uninspected for-hire vessels, and 3 fish per person for private 
vessels. Based on concerns of constituents regarding this 
recommendation, the Council has scheduled time at its June 13-16, 2016 
meeting to potentially reconsider these measures. To provide additional 
opportunity for the public to comment on this issue, the Council will 
hold a webinar-based listening session. During the listening session 
Council staff will summarize the rationale for the original 
recommendation, answer questions, and take comments on possible 
alternatives, which will be provided to the Council. Telephone
