Agenda

    The Council will hold two Webinars to inform the public on progress 
to date on implementation of priority items in the 2016-2020 Vision 
Blueprint for the Snapper Grouper Fishery. The Vision Blueprint is a 
long-term strategic plan for managing the snapper grouper fishery, and 
has been developed with stakeholder input. The Vision Blueprint 
identifies the goals, objectives, strategies, and actions that support 
the Vision for the snapper grouper fishery and centers around four goal 
areas: (1) Science; (2) Management; (3) Communication; and (4) 
Governance. The informal Webinars are being held as part of an annual 
evaluation of the Vision Blueprint and are designed to let the public 
know what the Council accomplished during the year in terms of 
addressing priority items within the Blueprint.
    The Webinars will be conducted at 10 a.m. and at 6 p.m. The 
Webinars will be accessible via the Internet from the ``Other 
Meetings'' page of Council's Web site, at www.safmc.net. Registration
