SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

On April 17, 2025, President Trump issued Executive Order 14276: Restoring American Seafood Competitiveness. Among other things, the Executive Order requires the regional fishery management councils to identify actions that would stabilize markets, improve access, enhance economic profitability, and prevent closures. As a part of this process, the South Atlantic Council will gather input from their advisory panels to prioritize which management actions may achieve the goals stated in the Executive Order. Public comment on Executive Order 14276 will be accepted via the Council's website.

The agenda for the webinar meeting of the advisory panels is as follows: Council staff will briefly introduce Executive Order 14276 and the input requested of the Council. The presentation will also include a status update on Council actions identified in 2020 in response to Executive Order 13921: Promoting American Seafood Competitiveness and Economic Growth. Attendees will have the opportunity to provide input on the Executive Orders. The AP meeting is open to the public via webinar. Information will be posted on the Council's website at https://safmc.net/meetings/ as it becomes available.
