 December 17, 2012 — The Northeast Seafood Coalition is urging  industry members to attend the December 20, 2012 New England Fishery  Management Council meeting during which the Council is scheduled to take  final action on Framework 48 to its Northeast Multispecies (Groundfish)  Fishery Management Plan. The meeting will begin at 9:00 a.m. at the  Sheraton Colonial Hotel, One Audubon Road in Wakefield, MA.

In order to assist fishermen and industry members from Southeastern  Massachusetts who would like to attend, a bus will depart from BASE New  England’s New Bedford facility (Whaling City Auction) at 62 Hassey  Street, New Bedford MA 02740 at 6:30 am on the 20th. Industry members should let the Council know how will the proposed  reductions affect you and your family, your business, your crew, and  your community. With proposed cuts in the Gulf of Maine and Georges  Bank, every segment of the fleet and industry will be negatively  impacted by reductions. Have your voice heard on record if you expect  these reductions to have economic and social impacts for you, your crew,  your community, and/or the fleet as a whole.
