• Description:
  The purpose of this action, which was developed by the Council and the Commission, is to consider the process for setting recreational measures for summer flounder, scup, black sea bass, and bluefish for 2026 and beyond. This action is needed because the current process for setting recreational measures (i.e., the Percent Change Approach) will sunset at the end of 2025.
