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 threestep process including: (1) Data
Workshop; (2) Assessment Process
utilizing a workshop 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 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 in the Review
Workshop are as follows:
Independent peer review of the assessment
developed during the Data Workshop and
Assessment Process. Panelists will review the
assessment and document their comments
and recommendations in a Summary Report.
Although non-emergency issues not
contained in this agenda may come

issues may not be the subject of formal

documents, stock assessment review
(STAR) panel reports, and any other
pertinent information for new
benchmark stock assessments for
lingcod, Pacific ocean perch, yelloweye
rockfish, yellowtail rockfish, blue
rockfish, deacon rockfish, and California
scorpionfish; review catch-only updates
of 2015 assessments for canary and
chilipepper rockfish; and consider
endorsing these assessments for use by
the Pacific Council family and other
interested persons for developing
management recommendations for
fisheries in 2019 and beyond.
Additionally, the SSC will consider
endorsing new 2019 and 2020
overfishing limits and stock categories
for groundfish stocks.
The purpose of the August 29 SSC
Groundfish Subcommittee meeting is to
review new proposed analyses
informing sigmas (i.e., values associated

categories used to determine acceptable
biological catches for groundfish stocks.
Additionally, the SSC Groundfish
Subcommittee will review a proposal
for a new stock assessment methodology
for determining stock compositions
from mixed stock landings. No
management actions will be decided by
the SSC or the SSC’s Groundfish
Subcommittee. The SSC members’ role
will be development of
recommendations and reports for
consideration by the Pacific Council at
its September meeting in Boise, ID. The
full SSC is expected to complete their
reports at their September meeting in
