datasets are appropriate for assessment
analyses. The Assessment Workshop
and webinars produce a 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,
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 nongovernmental organizations (NGOs);
international experts; and staff of
Councils, Commissions, and state and
federal agencies.
The items of discussion during the
data webinar are as follows:
Participants will discuss and review
data analyses and decisions of the Data
Workshop panel.
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
