    The Committee will discuss Plan Development Team (PDT) analysis and

status determinations for the Northeast Skate Complex, recommendations 
for the Skate Allowable Biological Catch (ABC), associated possession 
limits, and allowing the landing of barndoor skate.

Council to consider for 2018 priorities for the Northeast Skate Complex

potential 2018 priorities at the September Council meeting. The 
Committee will discuss if there are any regulations in the Northeast

current regulations, and NOAA is seeking public input on the efficiency
