the Council's goals and objectives. Attendees will then have the 
opportunity, through a series of discussion-based breakout groups, to 
provide input on a variety of issues related to the Atlantic king 
mackerel and Spanish mackerel fisheries including changing 
environmental conditions, needed management changes, commercial and 
recreational fishery dynamics, and the goals and objectives of the
