On January 19, 2022, BOEM held a meeting to present on New York Bight Final Sale Notice (FSN).  This meeting, focused on the commercial and recreational fishing industries, delivered on the commitment BOEM made following four fisheries meetings in the Summer of 2021 (see Proposed Sale Notice Fisheries Meetings, below) to host another meeting after the publication of the FSN.  BOEM staff provided an overview of the comments received in response to the Proposed Sale Notice, decisions BOEM made in the FSN (including the final lease areas), new lease stipulations designed to address comments and concerns voiced by the fishing industry, and our next steps.  BOEM Director Amanda Lefton offered opening remarks and participated in the Q&A session.
