The
International Scientific Committee for
Tuna and Tuna-like Species in the
North Pacific Ocean (ISC) is hosting the
4th North Pacific Albacore MSE
Workshop on March 5–7, 2019, in
Yokohama, Japan. MSE is a simulation
that allows stakeholders (e.g., industry,
managers, scientists) to assess how well
different management strategies, such as
harvest control rules, meet the
objectives of a fishery. The ISC will
present the results of the initial North
Pacific albacore MSE at the upcoming
Workshop. NMFS is hosting a meeting
in advance of the Workshop to present
the preliminary results of the MSE to
U.S. stakeholders. Because ISC meetings
are often held abroad, NMFS seeks to
engage in discussions on the MSE
results with more stakeholders than
could possibly travel to the ISC
Workshop. NMFS is soliciting
participants’ input on the preliminary
results of the MSE and NMFS
representatives attending the ISC
workshop can then convey information
gathered at the U.S. stakeholder meeting
to participants at the ISC Workshop.
The manner of public comment during
the NMFS-hosted meeting will be at the
discretion of the presenters and NMFS
staff.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
