Councils, in conjunction with NOAA
Fisheries and the Atlantic and Gulf

monitoring needs. The product of the
Review Workshop is an Assessment
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,

Southeast Fisheries Science Center.
Participants include data collectors and
database managers; stock assessment
