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
[[Page 53395]]
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 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; international
experts; and staff of Councils, Commissions, and state and Federal
agencies.
The items of discussion at the SEDAR 95 Atlantic Migratory Cobia
Indices Webinar II are as follows: review available indices of
abundance and provide recommendations for their use in the 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
This meeting is accessible to people with disabilities. Requests
for auxiliary aids should be directed to the South Atlantic Fishery
Management Council office (see ADDRESSES) at least 10 business days
