Subject: Skates: RESCHEDULED - Narragansett, RI scoping hearing


Dear Interested Parties,

Due to inclement weather, the New England Fishery Management Council has RESCHEDULED its Narragansett, RI scoping hearing on Amendment 5 to the Northeast Skate Complex Fishery Management Plan.  The new hearing date is Monday, Feb. 27.

The hearing initially was planned to take place this Thursday, Feb. 9.  However, the National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Watch for eastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island with potential snow accumulations of 8” to 12”.  Given the forecast, the Council determined it was best to prevent unnecessary travel.

The Feb. 27 hearing will take place from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the University of Rhode Island’s Graduate School of Oceanography in the Coastal Institute Building’s Hazard Room.

Copies of the revised hearing notice, scoping document, and other Amendment 5 materials are available at skates<http://www.nefmc.org/calendar/feb.-27-2017-scoping-hearing-skate-amendment-5>.
