I'll be there, as always. Won' be able to post on it until late night though due to other commitments. There was a bit more to the email the Div. sent out that Andy posted the excerpt from that might interest some folks...
"More information on the policy, including an online comment form, will be posted on the Division's website after the meeting."
This will be the opportunity for everyone to review the proposals and voice opinions/concerns/suggestions to our Div personnel. Rest assured all views will be taken into consideration but the reality is the biologists have some difficult decisions to make for the benefit of our fisheries and it's inevitable that some will be met with degrees of resistance, no doubt even from myself.
A quick edit here, the documents and links are already posted up on the Div. website. Here are the links...
