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 update assessments add additional years
of information to benchmark assessment models developed and approved
previously. SEDAR Update assessments are developed through a workshop
and webinar process including representatives from State and Federal
Agencies, Council SSCs and Advisory Panels, NGO's, and fishery
constituents. Update assessments are reviewed by Council SSCs.
Representatives of the GMFMC and SAFMC SSCs are conducting this
review of the updated spiny lobster assessment. They will develop stock
status and fishing level recommendations that will be provided to each
Council's SSC for consideration.
Spiny Lobster Update Review Schedule:
November 18, 2010: 9 a.m. - 6 p.m.
November 19, 2010: 8 a.m. - 12 p.m.
The established daily times may be adjusted as necessary to
accommodate the timely completion of discussion relevant to the
assessment process. Such adjustments may result in the meeting being
extended from, or completed prior to, the time established by this
notice.
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 listed 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 Council's
intent to take final action to address the emergency.
