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 is a three
step process including: (1) Data
Workshop; (2) Assessment Process
utilizing workshops and 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, the Atlantic and
Gulf States Marine Fisheries
Commissions 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.
SEDAR also coordinates procedural
workshops which provide an
opportunity for focused discussion and
deliberation on topics that arise in
multiple assessments. They are
structured to develop best practices for

addressing common issues across
assessments. The seventh procedural
workshop will develop best practice
recommendations for SEDAR Data
Workshops.
Workshop objectives include
developing an inventory of common or
recurring data and analysis issues from
SEDAR Data Workshops; documenting
how the identified data and analysis
issues were addressed in the past and
identifying potential additional methods
to address these issues; developing and
selecting best practice procedures and
approaches for addressing these issues
in future, including procedures and
approaches to follow when deviating
from best practice recommendations;
and identifying a process to address
future revision and evaluation of
workshop recommendations,
considering all unaddressed data and
analysis issues.
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
