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 multi-step process including: (1)
Data Workshop; (2) Assessment Process utilizing webinars; and (3)
Review Workshop. The product of the Data Workshop is a data report that
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 that 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 NGO's;
International experts; and staff of Councils, Commissions, and state
and federal agencies.
The items of discussion in the Stock ID webinars are as follows:
<bullet> Participants will use review genetic studies, growth
patterns, existing stock definitions, prior SEDAR stock ID
recommendations, and any other relevant information on scamp stock
structure.
<bullet> Participants will make recommendations on biological stock
structure and define the unit stock or stocks to be addressed through
this assessment.
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
The meeting is physically accessible to people with disabilities.
Requests for sign language interpretation or other auxiliary aids
should be directed to the SEDAR office (see ADDRESSES) at least 10
