SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Agenda
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. The product of the SEDAR Webinar series will be a report which
compiles and evaluates potential datasets and recommends which datasets
are appropriate for assessment analyses, and describes the fisheries,
evaluates the status of the stock, estimates biological benchmarks,
projects future population conditions, and recommends research and
monitoring needs. Participants for SEDAR Workshops are appointed by the
Gulf of Mexico, South Atlantic, and Caribbean Fishery Management
Councils and NOAA Fisheries 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 (NGOs); international experts; and staff of
Councils, Commissions, and state and federal agencies.
The items of discussion in the Data Scoping webinar are as follows:
1. Participants will identify who will be providing updated and/or
new datasets.
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.
