NEFMC Habitat/MPA/Ecoystems Ctte Meeting

Newport, RI - March 28, 2005

This presentation was given at the first meeting of the Council's Ecosystems Committee. My intention was to introduce the Committee to the elements of a Fishery Ecosystem Plan in a way that made the very difficult (constructing an FEP) seem reasonably do-able, and to provide the Ctte w/ a firm starting point for intiating action related to the Pilot Project.
