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 webinar are as follows:
Participants will review SRFS data available for use in the
assessment of Gulf of Mexico red grouper and make recommendations on
its use.

before this group for discussion, those issues may not be the subject
