SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Gulf of Mexico, South Atlantic, and
Caribbean Fishery Management Councils, in conjunction with NOAA
Fisheries and the Atlantic and Gulf States Marine Fisheries Commissions
have implemented the Southeast Data, Assessment and Review (SEDAR)
process, a multi-step method for determining the status of fish stocks
in the Southeast Region. SEDAR is a three step process including: (1)
Data Workshop; (2) Assessment Process utilizing workshops and webinars;
and (3) Review Workshop.
SEDAR also coordinates procedural workshops which provide an
opportunity for focused discussion and deliberation on topics that
arise in multiple assessments. They are structured to develop best
practices for addressing common issues across assessments. The seventh
procedural workshop and subsequent post workshop webinars will develop
best practice recommendations for SEDAR Data Workshops.
Workshop objectives include developing an inventory of common or
recurring data and analysis issues from SEDAR Data Workshops;
documenting how the identified data and analysis issues were addressed
in the past and identifying potential additional methods to address
these issues; developing and selecting best practice procedures and
approaches for addressing these issues in future, including procedures
and approaches to follow when deviating from best practice
recommendations; and identifying process to address future revision and
evaluation of workshop recommendations, considering all unaddressed
data and analysis issues. The post-workshop webinar #3 will be held to
finalize best practice recommendations from the workshop.
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.
