SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The purpose of this meeting is to discuss the EWG's assignment to compile a list of potential tasks flowing from the results of the Fishery Ecosystem Plan Climate and Communities Initiative. In compiling the list, the EWG will consider the activities identified by the Ad Hoc Climate and Communities Core Team, and other advisory body reports and public comment submitted to the Pacific Council at its September 2021 meeting. The EWG also was asked to prioritize the list of activities and assess the likely workload associated with each. The EWG plans to submit a report with its findings to be included in the advance briefing materials for the March 2022 Pacific Council meeting. Time permitting, the EWG also may discuss other ecosystem-related items scheduled on the March 2022 Pacific Council meeting agenda.

Although non-emergency 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.
