A U.S. Navy report on Northern Edge military war games for summer 2021 is on the agenda for the spring meeting of the North Pacific Fishery Management, which is being held virtually due to the continued effects of the coronavirus pandemic.

No items are slated for final action at this meeting, but the federal fisheries board will get updated reports on scallops and halibut issues in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands, Gulf of Alaska sablefish pot issues and more.

The meeting agenda is available online at cdv.tiny.us/npfmc1.

Allows for comment through Friday, April 2, on these and several other issues. The council and its advisory panel will also take oral testimony during the meetings. 

The printable agenda with attachments is online at cdv.tiny.us/npfmc2.
