birds, marine mammals, fish, and
shoreline and subtidal habitats, as well
as effects to human use resulting from
impacts on these natural resources. The
Trustees then began conducting
activities, in cooperation with the RPs,
to evaluate injuries and potential
injuries within these categories. More
information on these resource categories
is available in the Administrative
Record, including information gathered
during the Preassessment.
2. Spill response actions did not
address all injuries resulting from the
Incident to the extent that restoration
would not be necessary. Although
response actions were initiated soon
after the spill, the nature and location of
the discharge prevented recovery of all
of the oil and precluded prevention of
injuries to some natural resources. In
addition, certain response efforts, such
as the removal of wrack from beaches
and excavation of submerged oil, caused
additional injuries to natural resources.
It is anticipated that injured natural
resources will eventually return to
baseline levels (the condition they
would have been in had it not been for
the Incident), but interim losses have
occurred or have likely occurred and
will continue until a return to baseline
is achieved. In addition, there were lost
and diminished human uses of the
resources resulting from the impacts to
the natural resources and from spill
response actions.
3. Feasible primary and compensatory
restoration actions exist to address
injuries to natural resources and lost
human uses resulting from the Incident.
The Trustees have compiled a list of
restoration projects that could
potentially be implemented to
compensate for interim losses resulting
from the Incident. The Trustees have
also sought suggestions from the public
on potential restoration projects to
compensate for the services and
functions provided by natural resources.
In addition, assessment procedures such
as Habitat Equivalency Analysis and
Resource Equivalency Analysis are
available to scale the appropriate
amount of compensatory restoration
required to offset ecological service
losses resulting from this Incident. To
quantify lost human uses resulting from
the Incident, the Trustees, in
cooperation with the RP, have collected
and compiled data regarding visitor use
of impacted sites and associated
activities. To value those lost uses, the
Trustees are investigating use of a
Travel Cost Model and Benefits Transfer
Method. To compensate for the lost and
diminished human uses arising from the
Incident, the Trustees intend to solicit
project ideas from local, regional, State,

and Federal managers of parks and other
recreational areas, as well as from the
general public. The final selection of
projects will be informed by project
costs, the value of lost use, distribution
and character of impacts, and other
criteria consistent with state and federal
laws and practice.
During restoration planning, the
Trustees evaluate potential restoration
projects, determine the scale of
restoration actions needed to make the
environment and the public whole, and
release a draft Damage Assessment and
Restoration Plan for public review and
comment.
Based upon the foregoing
determinations and information in the
Administrative Record, the Trustees
intend to proceed with restoration
planning for this Incident.
Administrative Record
The Trustees have opened an
Administrative Record (Record) in
accordance with 15 CFR 990.45. The
Record will include documents
considered by the Trustees during the
preassessment, assessment, and
restoration planning phases of the
NRDA performed in connection with
the Incident. The Record will be
augmented with additional information
over the course of the NRDA process.
The Administrative Record may be
viewed at the following website: https://
www.diver.orr.noaa.gov/web/guest/
diver-admin-record/14901.
Opportunity To Comment
Pursuant to 15 CFR 990.14(d), the
Trustees seek public involvement in
restoration planning for this Incident
through public review of, and comment
on, documents contained in the Record.
The Trustees also intend to seek public
comment on a draft Damage Assessment
and Restoration Plan when it becomes
available.

ACTION: Notice of SEDAR 87 data
scoping webinar for Gulf of Mexico
white, pink, and brown shrimp.
The SEDAR 87 assessment
process of Gulf of Mexico white, pink,
and brown shrimp will consist of a Data
Workshop, and a series of assessment
webinars, and a Review Workshop. See
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION.
DATES: The SEDAR 87 Data scoping
webinar will be held July 11, 2023, from
11 a.m. until 1 p.m., Eastern Time.
ADDRESSES:
Meeting address: The meeting will be
held via webinar. The webinar is open
to members of the public. Those
interested in participating should
contact Julie A. Neer at SEDAR (see FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT) to
request an invitation providing webinar
access information. Please request
webinar invitations at least 24 hours in

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
Workshop, (2) a series of assessment
webinars, and (3) A Review Workshop.
The product of the Data Workshop is a
report that compiles and evaluates
potential datasets and recommends
which datasets are appropriate for
assessment analyses. The assessment
webinars produce a report that describes
the fisheries, evaluates the status of the
stock, estimates biological benchmarks,
projects future population conditions,
and recommends research and
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,
HMS Management Division, and
Southeast Fisheries Science Center.
