Eastern Georges Bank (EGB) cod, EGB haddock, and Georges Bank (GB) yellowtail flounder are jointly managed with Canada under the United States/Canada Resource Sharing Understanding. Each year, the TMGC meets as part of this process to discuss the latest scientific information and recommend a shared Total Allowable Catch for each stock. During the U.S. Pre-TMGC meeting, the U.S. delegation will establish an agreed upon position ahead of the full TMGC meeting.
