[Rimarinefisheries] RIMFI meeting January 31, 2017

[rimarinefisheries at listserve.ri.gov]

Hello.



Attached and below is the agenda for the next RI Marine Fisheries Institute (RIMFI) meeting. This meeting will be an administrative working session. The public is welcomed to attend, but there will not be much by way of new information presented.



We expect to host an additional RIMFI meeting later this spring, which will likely focus on research, present new information, and provide greater opportunity for participation.



Thank you
