Agenda
Friday, September 25, 2015
Following introductions, participants
will review the overfishing limit for
territorial bottomfish fisheries and the
results of risk analyses that considered
quality of the stock assessment,
uncertainty characteristics, stock status,
and productivity and susceptibility.
Participants will then discuss social,
economic, ecological, and management
uncertainty factors relevant to these
fisheries that may warrant the Council
to consider additional catch limit
reductions. Finally, individuals will
score these factors and these scores will
be averaged in order to reach consensus
on a recommendation to the Council.

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 multistep process including: (1) Data/
Assessment Workshop, and (2) a series
of webinars. The product of the Data/
Assessment Workshop is a report which
compiles and evaluates potential
datasets and recommends which
datasets are appropriate for assessment
analyses, and describes the fisheries,
evaluates the status of the stock,
estimates biological benchmarks,
projects future population conditions,
and recommends research and
monitoring needs. 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
