SUMMARY: The Pacific Fishery Management Council (Pacific Council) and
the NMFS Northwest and Southwest Fisheries Science Centers will convene
a virtual pre-assessment workshop to review proposed data and modeling
approaches to inform groundfish stock assessments for copper rockfish,
canary rockfish, and black rockfish, scheduled for assessment during
2023. The workshop is open to the public.

2023, from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. (Pacific Standard Time) or until
business for the day has been completed. The workshop will reconvene on

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The purpose of the pre-assessment workshop
is to review proposed data inputs, modeling approaches, and any other
pertinent information to inform 2023 stock assessments for copper,
canary, and black rockfish. The goal of the pre-assessment workshop is
to promote dialogue about and a common understanding between assessment
teams and data providers of the best data and analytical and modeling
approaches applicable to these assessments. Stock assessment teams will
solicit advice from data stewards, stakeholders, and fishery managers
knowledgeable about these species.
No management actions will be decided by the workshop participants.
The participants' role will be development of recommendations for
consideration by the stock assessment teams assigned to conduct these
assessments. Assessments for these stocks are tentatively scheduled for
peer review during Stock Assessment Review (STAR) panels: copper
rockfish (June 5-9, 2023), black rockfish (July 10-14, 2023), and
canary rockfish (July 24-28, 2023). The Pacific Council and the Pacific
Council's Scientific and Statistical Committee are scheduled to
consider these draft assessments for use in informing management
decisions at their September 2023 meeting in Spokane, WA.
Although nonemergency issues not contained in the workshops'
agendas may be discussed, those issues may not be the subject of formal
action during these workshops. Action will be restricted to those
issues specifically listed 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 of the workshop
participants to take final action to address the emergency.
