HIGHLY MIGRATORY SPECIES MANAGEMENT TEAM COMMENTS ONCOMMITTEE STRUCTURE AND REPRESENTATION

Per the Council’s request, the Highly Migratory Species Management Team (HMSMT) discussedcommittee structure and representation at our recent meeting.

Generally, the current composition of the committee is in line with the needs of managing WestCoast highly migratory species (HMS) fisheries. National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS)-Southwest Fisheries Science Center (SWFSC) recently appointed a population dynamics/stockassessment researcher to replace Dr. David Au, who retired.

The HMSMT is aware that Mr. Jim Morgan has retired from NMFS-Southwest Region (SWR). TheHMSMT was informed that SWR intends to continue providing technical and policy advice to theHMSMT, and that Mr. Craig Heberer (SWR) would replace Mr. Morgan in an advisory capacity.

Beyond this current advisory role, the HMSMT is generally supportive of having formal SWRrepresentation on the HMSMT because of the usefulness of this policy and regulatory perspective.The HMSMT recommends the Council consider adding a SWR seat to the HMSMT, and requestNMFS nominate a formal representative to the committee.

An important consideration in management of HMS fisheries is ensuring that managementinformation (notably, PacFIN) is timely and accurate. In that regard, the HMSMT believes there iscompelling need for a HMSMT representative to act as a liaison on PacFIN-related data issues.Dr. Herrick (SWFSC), with the assistance of Ms. Donna Dealy (SWFSC), currently acts as a liaisonbetween the HMSMT and PacFIN. For the Council’s information, the HMSMT notes theimportance of resolving HMS-related PacFIN issues and recommends close coordination betweenthe HMSMT and PacFIN representatives.
