The practice, called a guga hunt and dating back to the 15th Century, usually takes place in August.
Last year NatureScot granted a licence allowing up to 500 birds to be killed, following three years when the hunt had not been held due to bird flu.
The agency said the number had been reduced from 2,000 in recent times to allow the population to recover from the impact of the disease.
A total of 485 birds were taken at the 2025 hunt.
Ahead of Monday’s meeting, external, NatureScot said: “We understand there are strong feelings about the guga hunt, and that some people will disagree with it taking place.
“The hunt is recognised in law under the Wildlife and Countryside Act, which makes specific provision for the granting of a licence for the purpose of providing food for human consumption in relation to the gannets on the island of Sula Sgeir.
“Our role is to make licensing decisions based on the most recent scientific evidence and the relevant legal frameworks.”
It said it would not be making further comment until after the meeting.
