Using satellite tagging to track the southern flounder, the project seeks to identify offshore spawning locations, immigration rates for those that return to estuaries after spawning, and migration corridors and habitat preference for the offshore component of the southern flounder stock, according to the division.
The committees are also expected to hear the annual financial report and review past projects, according to the agenda.
The public may listen to the meeting by phone or watch online. A meeting link and password information can be found on the Department of Environmental Quality’s website.
