# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Council will host a presentation from NOAA Fisheries on research conducted in the Deepwater Marine Protected Areas in the South Atlantic Region. The presentation will describe the impact of the protected areas based on data collected from remotely operated vehicles over the past 17 years by NOAA Fisheries Southeast Fisheries Science Center. During their research scientists were able to document fish abundances before and after implementation of fishing restrictions, comparing protected and unprotected areas. They were also able to examine the effect of lionfish on reef fish community structure along the south Atlantic shelf break and compare natural and artificial habitats to illuminate deep-water grouper hotspots. A question-and-answer session will follow the presentation. Members of the public will have the opportunity to participate in the discussion. The presentation is for informational purposes only and no management actions will be taken.
