Meeting canceled tonight
The Division of Marine Fisheries is cancelling its March 12, 2020 public hearing scheduled for 6PM at MA Maritime Academy. This action is being taken in response to the venue's decision today to cancel all outside events. Due to this late timing and uncertainty surrounding the current public health situation, this hearing is not being rescheduled. We apologize for any inconvenience this unforeseen change in circumstances may have caused.
Instead, DMF is extending the written public comment period through Wednesday, March 18, 2020 at 5PM. All interested parties are encouraged to submit written comments. DMF has posted the public hearing document, presentation, and memoranda to the Marine Fisheries Advisory Commission regarding each proposal on its website. DMF’s policy staff may be reached by phone at 617-626-1520 or via e-mail at
marine.fish@mass.gov if you have any questions about the proposals.
