SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Gulf, South Atlantic, and Caribbean
Fishery Management Councils, in conjunction with the 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 Data stage
is a report which compiles and evaluates potential datasets and
recommends which datasets are appropriate for assessment analyses. The
product of the Assessment stage is a report which compiles and
evaluates recommended model configurations that describes the
fisheries, evaluates the status of the stock, estimates biological
benchmarks and projects future population conditions. The product of
the Review Workshop is a Review Summary documenting panel opinions
regarding the strengths and weaknesses of the products reviewed.
Participants for SEDAR Workshops 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 include data collectors and database managers; stock
assessment scientists, biologists, and researchers; constituency
representatives including fishermen, environmentalists, and non-
governmental organizations; International experts; and staff of
Councils, Commissions, and state and Federal agencies.
The items of discussion in the Pre-Data Workshop Webinar are as
follows:
The Panel will discuss preliminary data analysis, make
recommendations, and provide guidance for the in-person data workshop.
