Please join us virtually for a deep dive into recreational fishing in the Southeast U.S., the future of the industry, and the important role anglers play in how regulations are made based on data you help collect and share. This meeting will provide NOAA Fisheries’ Southeast leadership and the recreational fishing community an opportunity to connect with one another.
The events will be hosted using WebEx and feature opening remarks by NOAA Fisheries Southeast Regional Administrator Andy Strelcheck, followed by the opportunity to share input, concerns, and ideas for how we move forward to maximize fishing opportunities while ensuring healthy fish stocks.
When: Wednesday, August 19, 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm EST
