The eAgenda is published a month before a Council meeting and all documents related to each meeting are available through its eAgenda. The newsletter is published the week following the meeting. You can subscribe to both. A tentative list of agenda items for the next three meetings is published in our Three Meeting Outlook.

The Council meets five times each year, usually in February, April, June, October and December, with three of the meetings held in Anchorage, one in a fishing community in Alaska and one either in Portland or Seattle. Most Council meetings take seven days, with the SSC and AP usually following the same agenda and meeting one and two days earlier, respectively. For more information on the Council process, visit our webpage: Navigating the Process: Overview
All meetings are open to the public, except for an occasional short, closed session in which the Council deals with personnel, administrative, or litigation issues. Minutes taken for each Council meeting are available to the public. VIEW ARCHIVES.
Live Meeting Broadcasts
The Council broadcasts meetings via the internet. The public can access meetings through the meeting app, Adobe Connect, or watch the meeting streamed live on YouTube.
Post Meeting Audio Files
Although Adobe Connect allows an individual to record their own portions of the meeting, all Council meetings are recorded separately and archived. Starting October 2020, the Council also streams its meeting on YouTube and maintains an archive of the Council meetings there. Beginning in April 2008, these mp3 audio files are stored electronically on a third-party storage site (www.box.net). Click HERE to access AUDIO files for all meetings through Box.net. Use the time log posted with the audio files to help navigate to the correct file.
Prior to April 2008, many meetings have been electronically transferred from cassette tape to audio files which are also available online. For those not transferred over, cassette tape copies can be obtained via Alaska Sound Labs. For any questions regarding meeting recordings, audio, or broadcasts, please contact maria.davis@noaa.gov, or call the office.
