The U.S. Dept. of Commerce/NMFS/Office of Constituent Services intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council to conduct a series of workshops that will provide a forum where fishermen and other interested parties can examine for themselves scientific work that addresses Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), learn from the experience of other fishermen from other areas that have been affected by MPAs, and have the opportunity to discuss their questions and concerns about MPAs with scientists studying them. These workshops will help further NOAA in execution of Executive Order 13158 by increasing stakeholder understanding of science relating to MPAs and by creating a better working relationship between scientists and stakeholders for the protection of our marine resources. This is a notice of intent with no solicitation package available. Award will be made using simplified acquisition procedures. (Reference No. NFFKA2-2-04)
