Meeting Information

The Atlantic coastal states of Maryland through Florida have scheduled hearings to gather public input on Draft Addendum II to Amendment 2 to the Interstate Fishery Management Plan for Red Drum, which considers several changes to the management programs in the southern (South Carolina to Florida) and northern (New Jersey to North Carolina) regions in response to the findings of the 2024 Red Drum Benchmark Stock Assessment and Peer Review Report. Regardless of where the hybrid hearing is being conducted, all are welcome to participate in either the virtual or hybrid hearing.

This hybrid hearing on Thursday, September 18, 2025, is for the Maryland Department of Natural Resources and the Potomac River Fisheries Commission. The webinar registration link is available here, and additional webinar instructions are below.
