DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
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 includes
three workshops: (1) data workshop, (2)
assessment workshop, and (3) review
workshop. The product of the data
workshop and the assessment workshop
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
report is independently peer reviewed
at the review workshop.
