The Council has appointed Shannon Carroll and Craig Lowenberg as Advisory Panel members, each for a two-year term (2024-2025). The Council created these special appointments in order to include additional harvester and processor expertise on the AP for the Bering Sea Pacific cod pot gear LAPP that is being contemplated. While these members were solicited for specific expertise, they will be expected to participate as any AP member and will begin at the February 2024 Advisory Panel meeting.
