During this meeting the EOP Committee and AP will review a draft of the 2025 Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Management (EAFM) risk assessment report. The draft report has been updated to reflect recent revisions to the risk assessment, incorporates the latest data and scientific information, including the 2025 Mid-Atlantic State of the Ecosystem report, and continued improvements to indicators based on previous input from the EOP Committee and AP. The EOP Committee and AP will provide any additional feedback before the 2025 EAFM risk assessment report is finalized and presented to the Council in April.
A detailed agenda and background documents will be made available on the Council's website (
