Hilton Virginia Beach - 3001 Atlantic Ave., Virginia Beach, VA
and Via the Internet at http://www.mafmc.org/
Fishery managers are designing and implementing improvements to recreational fishing data collection and estimation through the Marine Recreational Information Program (MRIP). Incorporating input and feedback from anglers is a critical component of MRIP. With this in mind, the Council will host a Public Listening Session in which Gordon Colvin, the MRIP program manager, will provide an update and take questions and input from the audience and those online (see below for registration).
The update will include information on how the new MRIP estimation methods have
changed 2004-2011 catch estimates for MAFMC-managed species like summer flounder,
scup, and black sea bass. If you have questions, need answers, or just want to express
your concerns regarding the MRIP program, you will be able to talk directly to Gordon
and leaders from the Council and the National Marine Fisheries Service.
You can attend in person in Virginia Beach or via the internet. For online webinar
