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
Consensus 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 and Southeast Fisheries Science
Center. Participants include: data
collectors and database managers; stock
assessment scientists, biologists, and
researchers; constituency
representatives including fishermen,
environmentalists, and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs);
international experts; and staff of
Councils, Commissions, and state and
federal agencies.
The items of discussion in the Data
Workshop agenda are as follows:
1. An assessment data set and
associated documentation will be
developed.
2. Participants will evaluate all
available data and select appropriate
sources for providing information on
life history characteristics, catch
statistics, discard estimates, length and
age composition, and fishery dependent
and fishery independent measures of
stock abundance, as specified in the
Terms of Reference for 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.
