SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This SARSRP population estimation study is
separate from the traditional data collection processes used to inform
stock assessments. This study was designed with careful consideration
of methods to support practical application by management. Therefore,
the data will be considered for incorporation into the stock assessment
following review by the Center for Independent Experts (CIE). Next, the
South Atlantic Fishery Management Council (SAFMC)'s Scientific and
Statistical Committee (SSC) will review the data and consider it for
incorporation in the red snapper stock assessment.
Visit the South Carolina Sea Grant Consortium website for more
information on the project and draft report: <a href="https://sarsrp.scseagrant.org">https://sarsrp.scseagrant.org</a>.
Selected reviewers will have expertise in the methods used to
produce the population estimates. Following this review, the research
team will have time to respond and make revisions. The full integration
into management decisions will come later. Early findings should not be
over-interpreted.
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 participatory process for developing,
evaluating and reviewing information used for fisheries management
advice. The process may include (1) a Data stage, and (2) an Assessment
stage, and (3) a Review stage. The product of the Review Workshop is a
Review Summary documenting panel opinions regarding the strengths and
weaknesses of the products reviewed. Review materials will be posted at
<a href="https://sarsrp.scseagrant.org/report/">https://sarsrp.scseagrant.org/report/</a>.
The items of discussion in the Review Workshop are as follows:
Participants will evaluate the technical merits of the SARSRP
reports, as specified in the Terms of Reference for the workshop, and
determine if they are scientifically sound.
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.
The established times may be adjusted as necessary to accommodate
the timely completion of discussion relevant to the assessment process.
Such adjustments may result in the meeting being extended from or
completed prior to the time established by this notice.
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 SAFMC office (see ADDRESSES)
at least 5 business days prior to each workshop.
Note: The times and sequence specified in this agenda are subject
to change.
