Changes and Cancellations – NEFMC – Weather Update for Coral Workshops, Herring MSE Peer Review
s a result of the winter storm that’s forecasted for our region on Tuesday, the New England Fishery Management Council is: (1) modifying the schedule for its two Coral Workshops; and (2) reminding members of the public who are interested in the Atlantic Herring MSE Peer Review that a webinar option is available. Here are the details. CORAL WORKSHOP #1, NEW BEDFORD, MA: This workshop will begin as planned at 9 a.m. on Monday, March 13 and extend into the early evening to accommodate as much of the original two-day agenda as possible. The second day of the workshop — Tuesday, March 14 — has been cancelled to avoid unnecessary travel. The workshop will be held at the Fairfield Inn & Suites, 185 MacArthur Drive, New Bedford, MA 02740. CORAL WORKSHOP #2, PORTSMOUTH, NH: This workshop will take place on Wednesday, March 15 as originally scheduled, but the start-time has been advanced by two hours — from 9:00 a.m. to 11 a.m. — to allow additional travel time. The workshop will be held at the Sheraton Harborside, 250 Market Street, Portsmouth, NH 03801. ATLANTIC HERRING MSE PEER REVIEW: The March 13-15 MSE peer review will proceed as planned on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday at the Embassy Suites near Boston Logan Airport. Technical experts involved in the peer review will be traveling to and from the meeting outside of the forecasted storm window. The meeting will begin at 9 a.m. each day. ALTERNATIVES TO TRAVELING: Members of the public who are concerned about traveling may listen to the discussion via webinar or telephone.
