Richmond--The Board of Game and Inland Fisheries will meet on Thursday, August 24, 2000 at 4000 West Broad Street, Richmond, beginning at 9:00 a.m., and intends to propose amendments to regulations governing fish and fishing, and wildlife diversity (i.e., wildlife other than in the contexts of hunting, trapping, or fishing). This is the regular biennial review for these regulations.
Under Board procedures, regulatory actions occur over two sequential Board meetings. The second Board meeting in this regulatory review is scheduled for October 26, 2000. At the August 24, 2000 meeting, the Board also will adopt 2000-2001 hunting seasons and bag limits for migratory waterfowl (ducks and coots, geese and brant, swan, gallinules and moorhens) and falconry, based on frameworks provided by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The Board will solicit and receive comments from the public during the public hearing portion of the meeting.
The Board may also review possible proposals for legislation for the 2001 session of the General Assembly; discuss other general and administrative issues; and may hold an executive session before the public session begins on August 24, 2000. The Board may also elect to hold a dinner Wednesday evening, August 23, at a location and time to be determined.
