actions. The first action considers modifying the regulations to allow 
three new approved sea turtle release gears as well as clarify a 
minimum size limit for a current gear requirement. This action applies 
to commercial and charter/headboat vessels with federal Gulf reef fish 
permits.

gears to be approved for use without a full amendment to the fishery 
management plan in the future. Staff will then open the meeting for 
questions and public comments.
