SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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, HMS 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, and non-governmental organizations
(NGO's); International experts; and staff of Councils, Commissions, and
state and Federal agencies.
The items of discussion in the SEDAR 103 Data Webinar 2 are as
follows: Continue data review and discuss Pacific Island assessment
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
Management Act, provided the public has been notified of the intent to
take final action to address the emergency.
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 Council office (see ADDRESSES)
at least 5 business days prior to each workshop.
