Second Science Management Dialogue
Agenda Item 4.3.2 Settings and Assumptions of the MPs
Annotation
The SMD02 will engage in discussions to review the outcomes of MP-related discussions and recommendations from previous meetings and amend, as needed, the settings and assumptions of the MPs. This could involve:
-
Defining fisheries and fishery controls within the harvest strategy to ensure they align with the management objectives.
-
Considering a 3-year management cycle for the MPs, which could provide a balance between responsiveness to stock status changes and stability for fishery operations.
-
Discussing alternative settings for MPs, which may include different harvest control rules.
