About

The intent of the Atlantic Highly Migratory Species Advisory Panel meeting is to
consider options for the conservation and management of Atlantic Highly Migratory Species.

Discussion topics will include:

  • Highly Migratory Species rulemaking updates
  • Outcomes of the 2024 International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic
    Tunas Annual Meeting
  • Atlantic bluefin tuna fishery update

We anticipate having other NOAA Fisheries offices and the U.S. Coast Guard to provide updates, if available, on their activities relevant to Atlantic highly migratory species fisheries.
