A few words on the process.
States have already submitted to ASMFC all the options they are considering. In two weeks the ASMFC armed with ASMFC Technical Committee advice, the ASMFC will approve the options the states have submitted...or will not approve.
Then each state completes its individual process and set its regulations.
For example, MA submitted all of the options that went to public hearing. Each of the options were evaluated and IF they are approved at the ASMFC meeting, then a week later the MA Marine Fisheries Commission will hear a presentation from Director Diodati and give him a recommendation on what options to implement for MA.
