On November 18, 2024, NOAA published a notice that the Western Pacific Fishery Management Council (WPFMC) will be holding a multi-day public meeting on December 3–7, 2024 to hear public input on various topics. The meeting will be in hybrid format, with in-person and virtual attendance options. Among the topics discussed at the meeting on December 3 will be an update on the status of WPFMC’s IRA-funded initiatives.
