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/Assessment Workshop, and (2) a series of webinars. The product of
the Data/Assessment Workshop is a report which compiles and evaluates
potential datasets and recommends which datasets are appropriate for
assessment analyses, and describes the fisheries, evaluates the status
of the stock, estimates biological benchmarks, projects future
population conditions, and recommends research and monitoring needs.
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 Data Workshop are as follows:
An assessment data set and associated documentation will be
developed during the workshop.
Participants will evaluate proposed data and select appropriate
sources for providing information on life history characteristics,
catch statistics, discard estimates, length and age composition, and
fishery dependent and fishery independent measures of stock abundance.
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
These meetings are physically accessible to people with
disabilities. Requests for sign language interpretation or other
auxiliary aids should be directed to the Council office (see ADDRESSES)
at least 5 business days prior to each workshop.
