As discussed in our meeting Omega supports a science-based approach to setting annual quotas. We will continue to work with the FWS and all stakeholders to ensure that we sustain a healthy menhaden fishery. I know that Peter will be providing you additional information and that he will be reaching out to FWS staff to discuss the establishment of the 2018 quota. We will update you in a few weeks regarding our discussions with all stakeholders. Thanks again for visiting with us.
