SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The South Atlantic Fishery Management
Council is developing a Citizen Science Program. In March 2016, the
Council adopted the Citizen Science Program Blueprint outlining
specific program components needed to develop the Citizen Science
Program. In the Citizen Science Program Blueprint, development of
Action Teams in the areas of Volunteers, Data Management, Projects/
Topics Management, Finance, and Communication/Outreach/Education
[[Page 31576]]
were identified as necessary program components. To develop these five
program components the Council created the Citizen Science Advisory
Panel Pool and appointed members of the advisory panel to serve on
Action Teams (sub-panels) to specifically address each of the five
program areas--Volunteers, Data Management, Projects/Topics Management,
Finance, and Communication/Outreach/Education.
The Council will hold three webinar meetings for members of the
Citizen Science Advisory Panel Action Teams. The webinar meetings are
being held to provide an introduction to the Council's Citizen Science
program and the process and operation of the Action Teams. The three
webinar meetings will cover the same agenda items and are being
scheduled to address the availability of Action Team members.
Items to be addressed during these meetings:
1. The Council's Citizen Science Program development
2. Operation and structure of the Action Teams
3. Terms of Reference for each Action Team
4. Schedule of Action Team webinar meetings
