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 SEDAR process, a multi-step method for determining 
the status of fish stocks in the Southeast Region. SEDAR is a three-
step process including: (1) Data Workshop, (2) Assessment Process 
utilizing webinars and workshops (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, HMS Management 
Division, and

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

fishermen, environmentalists, and NGO's; International experts; and

26 Data webinar: Participants will present summary data, and discuss 
data needs and treatments.
