The Gulf, South Atlantic, and Caribbean Fishery Management
Councils, in conjunction with the National Marine Fisheries Service and
the Atlantic and Gulf States Marine Fisheries Commissions have
implemented the SEDAR process. SEDAR is a participatory process for
developing, evaluating and reviewing information used for fisheries
management advice. This multi-step process for determining the status
of fish stocks in the Southeast Region may include (1) a Data stage,
and (2) an Assessment stage, and (3) a Review stage. Each stage
produces a report summarizing decisions made during that stage. A final
stock assessment report is produced at the end of a SEDAR process
documenting data sets used, model configurations and the opinions from
the independent peer review. Participants for SEDAR projects are
appointed by the Gulf, South Atlantic, and Caribbean Fishery Management
Councils and National Marine Fisheries Service Southeast Regional
Office, Highly Migratory Species Management Division, and Southeast
Fisheries Science Center. Participants may include data collectors and
database managers; stock assessment scientists, biologists, and
researchers; constituency representatives including fishermen,
environmentalists, non-governmental organizations; International
experts; and staff of Councils, Commissions, and state and Federal
agencies.
The items of discussion in the SEDAR 103 Data Webinar 1 are as
follows: Participants will review data and discuss Caribbean management
history.
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
