-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council (Council) will 
hold a public webinar meeting.

DATES: The meeting will be held on Thursday November 9, 2017, from 10 
a.m. to 12 noon.

ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held via webinar with a telephone-only 
connection option. The webinar can be accessed at http://mafmc.adobeconnect.com/chub_hms_diet/. Audio can be accessed through 
the webinar link or by dialing 1-800-832-0736 and entering meeting room 
number 5068871.
    Council address: Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council, 800 N. 
State Street, Suite 201, Dover, DE 19901; telephone: (302) 674-2331; 
www.mafmc.org.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Christopher M. Moore, Ph.D., Executive 
Director, Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council, telephone: (302) 
526-5255.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The goal of this webinar is to understand 
the importance of Atlantic chub mackerel (Scomber colias) to the diets 
of highly migratory species (HMS) predators in U.S. waters, with a 
focus on recreationally-important predators such as large tunas and 
billfish. The objectives of the meeting are to: (1) Convene a panel of 
scientific experts on HMS diets, (2) clarify what is known about the 
importance of chub mackerel to HMS diets based on currently available 
data, and (3) develop recommendations for future studies to quantify 
the role of chub mackerel in HMS diets. Meeting these objectives will 
help the Council analyze the potential impacts of chub mackerel 
management alternatives on HMS predators as well as on recreational 
fisheries for those predators. The Council is developing a chub 
mackerel amendment to the Mackerel, Squid, and Butterfish Fishery 
Management Plan. More information on the amendment is available at: 
http://www.mafmc.org/actions/chub-mackerel-amendment. To facilitate 
productive discussions among the invited experts, public participation 
during this webinar will be limited to designated question and answer 
and comment periods. Members of the public are invited to email 
questions for the invited experts to Council staff ([email protected]) 
in advance of the meeting.
