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 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, Highly Migratory Species (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 non-governmental organizations
(NGO's); International experts; and staff of Councils, Commissions, and
state and Federal agencies.
The items of discussion during the Assessment Webinar VI are as
follows:
Participants will review 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).
Special Accommodations
The meeting is 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
