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
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
[[Page 350]]
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, Highly Migratory Species 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 at the SEDAR 82 South Atlantic Gray
Triggerfish Assessment Webinar 9 are as follows: discuss any leftover
data/modelling issues that were not cleared up during the data and
assessment processes, answer any questions the analysts have, and
determine if model development is complete.
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
This meeting is accessible to people with disabilities. Requests
