This research track will address American plaice. Research track assessments evaluate new datasets that can either inform or be used in new or existing stock assessment models. Our goal is to develop an improved stock assessment for American plaice that can be used for future management track assessments.
Stakeholder Engagement Meeting
The American Plaice Working Group will be hosting a stakeholder engagement meeting in Gloucester, MA, on Friday, September 24, 2021, from 10 AM - 1pm. You can also participate through Webex. This meeting link will be sent to your email upon registration.
The meeting will begin with a presentation on the American plaice Research Track Assessment process with a focus on fishery data, survey data, and a review of previous stock assessments. An open discussion will follow with time for questions and comments on the fishery and survey data, research track process including methods and timeline, or any other input or questions. The working group is specifically interested in getting on the water experience from stakeholders.
