SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In March 2017, the Pacific Council requested 
the EWG to discuss the two ecosystem initiatives identified in Appendix 
A to the Council's Fishery Ecosystem Plan: A combined initiative on the 
socio-economic effects of fisheries management practices on fishing 
communities (A.2.7) and on human recruitment to the fisheries (A.2.6), 
and an initiative on the effects of near-term climate shift and long-
term climate change on our fish, fisheries, and fishing communities 
(A.2.8). The EWG intends to discuss the specific objectives of the 
initiatives, inventory available information, and propose a timeline 
for completing either or both initiatives. The Council directed the EWG 
to report back at the September 2017 Pacific Council meeting. The 
purpose of this webinar is for the EWG to discuss the tasks outlined 
above and begin planning their report for the September 2017 Pacific 
Council meeting.
    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.
