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 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
federal agencies.
The items of discussion in the Data
Webinars are as follows:
1. An assessment data set and
associated documentation will be
developed during the webinars.
2. Participants will evaluate proposed
data and select appropriate sources for
providing information on life history
characteristics, catch statistics, discard
estimates, length and age composition,
and fishery dependent and fishery
independent measures of stock
abundance.
