completed a comprehensive review of the risk assessment and recommended 
a number of changes and updates to be included in a revised EAFM risk 
assessment. A draft report has been updated to reflect the approved 
changes to the risk assessment and incorporates the latest data and 
scientific information, indicators from the 2024 Mid-Atlantic State of 
the Ecosystem report, and new analyses developed by Council and the 
Northeast Fisheries Science Center (NEFSC staff. There are some risk 
element components that require additional feedback and direction from 
the EOP Committee and AP in order to be finalized. A completed 2024
