SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Gulf, South Atlantic, and Caribbean
Fishery Management Councils, in conjunction with NMFS 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)
a series of assessment webinars, and (3) A Review Workshop. The product
of the Data Workshop is a report that compiles and evaluates potential
datasets and recommends which datasets are appropriate for assessment
analyses. The assessment webinars produce a 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 product of the Review Workshop is an
Assessment 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, South Atlantic, and
Caribbean Fishery Management Councils and NMFS 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 during the Assessment Webinar II are as
follows:
Participants will review the data recommendations and the
assessment modelling work to date.
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.
On January 20, 2025, President Trump issued Executive Order 14172
to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America. Any reference to
Gulf of America red snapper in SEDAR reports and other documents refers
to the same species of red snapper listed in 50 CFR part 622, Appendix
A, Table I (Gulf of Mexico Reef Fish).

should be directed to the Council office (see ADDRESSES) at least 5
