SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The original document published on August
26, 2010 (75 FR 52510). A meeting has been added to the agenda,
therefore, we are publishing the document in its entirety.
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 webinars and (3) Review Workshop. The
product of the Data Workshop is a data report which compiles and
evaluates potential datasets and recommends which datasets are
appropriate for assessment analyses. The product of the Assessment
Process is a stock assessment report which describes the fisheries,
evaluates the status of the stock, estimates biological benchmarks,
projects future population conditions, and recommends research and
monitoring needs. The assessment is independently peer reviewed at the
Review Workshop. The product of the Review Workshop is a Summary
documenting Panel opinions regarding the strengths and weaknesses of
the stock assessment and input data. Participants for SEDAR Workshops
are appointed by the Gulf of Mexico, South Atlantic, and Caribbean
Fishery Management Councils and NOAA Fisheries Southeast Regional
Office, HMS 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 NGO's;
International experts; and staff of Councils, Commissions, and state
and federal agencies.
SEDAR 21 Assessment Process I webinar series:
Using datasets recommended from the Data Workshop, participants
will employ assessment models to evaluate stock status, estimate
population benchmarks and management criteria, and project future
conditions. Participants will recommend the most appropriate methods
and configurations for determining stock status and estimating
population parameters.
Meeting Schedule: Note that the schedule has been modified to add a
webinar on October 22nd.
