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 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

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, 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 NGO's; International experts; and staff of 
Councils, Commissions, and state and federal agencies.
