The story I was told unofficially was that Advisory groups are just that - advisory. That leads to there being no decisions made therefore.....not subject to the Public Meeting Act.

I would offer that for the crab and shrimp advisory group the only interface managers have with the public to discuss options is the Group before the managers make a decision.
