SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Council is conducting a climate change 
scenario planning exercise as part of its Fishery Ecosystem Plan 
Climate and Communities Initiative. The workshops will be open to the 
public. As part of this exercise, four climate change scenarios were 
developed in January 2020. Based on these four scenarios, workshop 
participants will identify specific challenges that could be faced by 
West Coast fishing communities, regions, and participants. These 
challenges will then be used to formulate potential solutions and 
actions that the Council and other stakeholders could take to respond 
to the effects of climate change in the California Current Ecosystem. 
The results of these workshops are tentatively scheduled to be reported 
to the Council in March 2021. Participants will be invited to each 
workshop, representing a range of West Coast fishery stakeholders 
within each region.
    Although non-emergency issues not contained in the meeting agenda 
may be discussed, those issues may not be the subject of formal action 
during this meeting. Action will be restricted to those issues 
specifically listed in this document and any issues arising after 
publication of this document that require emergency action under 
section 305(c) of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and 
Management Act, provided the public has been notified of the intent to 
take final action to address the emergency.
