SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Gulf of Mexico, South Atlantic, and
Caribbean Fishery Management Councils, in conjunction with NOAA
Fisheries and the Atlantic and Gulf States Marine Fisheries Commissions
have implemented the Southeast Data, Assessment and Review (SEDAR)
process, a multi-step method for determining the status of fish stocks
in the Southeast Region. SEDAR is a three step process including: (1)
Data Workshop; (2) Assessment Process utilizing workshops and webinars;
and (3) Review Workshop. The product of the Data Workshop is a data
report which compiles and evaluates potential datasets and recommends
which datasets are appropriate for assessment analyses. The product of
the Assessment Process is a stock assessment report which describes the
fisheries, evaluates the status of the stock, estimates biological
benchmarks, projects future population conditions, and recommends
research and monitoring needs. The assessment is independently peer
reviewed at the Review Workshop. The product of the Review Workshop is
a Summary documenting panel opinions regarding the strengths and
weaknesses of the stock assessment and input data. Participants for
SEDAR Workshops are appointed by the Gulf of Mexico, South Atlantic,
and Caribbean Fishery Management Councils and NOAA Fisheries Southeast
Regional Office, HMS Management Division, and Southeast Fisheries
Science Center. Participants include: Data collectors and database
managers; stock assessment scientists, biologists, and researchers;
constituency representatives including fishermen, environmentalists,
and non-governmental organizations (NGOs); international experts; and
staff of Councils, Commissions, and state and federal agencies.
The items of discussion in the Review Workshop agenda are as
follows:
The Review Panel participants will review the stock assessment
reports to determine if they are scientifically sound.
Although non-emergency issues not contained in this agenda may come
before this group for discussion, those issues may not be the subject
of formal action during this meeting. Action will be restricted to
those issues specifically identified in this notice and any issues
arising after publication of this notice that require emergency action
under section 305(c) of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act, provided the public has been notified of the intent to
take final action to address the emergency.
Special Accommodations
These meetings are physically accessible to people with
disabilities. Requests for auxiliary aids should be directed to the
Council office (see ADDRESSES) at least 10 days prior to the meeting.
