strategic due to a population decline 

may be designated as non-strategic if the 

decline is stopped and the stock is not 

otherwise strategic.’’ 

And finally, to the draft revised 

guidelines include the following 

direction regarding recovery factors for 

declining stocks: ‘‘A stock that is 

strategic because, based on the best 

available scientific information, it is 

declining and is likely to be listed as a 

threatened species under the ESA 

within the foreseeable future (sec. 

3(19)(B) of the MMPA) should use a 

recovery factor between 0.1 and 0.5.’’ 

Assessing stocks without abundance 

estimates or PBR: For many stocks, data 

are so sparse that it is not possible to 

produce an Nmin or therefore not 

possible to estimate PBR. When 

mortality and/or population abundance 

estimates are unavailable, the PBR 

approach cannot be used to assess 

populations, in spite of a statutory 

mandate to do so. The draft revised 

guidelines include the addition to the 

Status of Stocks section the following 

sentence: ‘‘Likewise, trend monitoring 

can help inform the process of 

determining strategic status.’’ 

Characterizing uncertainty in key SAR 

elements: It is difficult to infer the 

overall uncertainty for key parameters 

as they are currently reported in the 

SARs. The draft revised guidelines 

direct that in the Stock Definition and 

Geographic Range, Elements of the PBR 

Formula, Population Trend, Annual 

Human-Caused Mortality and Serious 

Injury and Status of the Stock sections, 

SAR authors are to provide a 

description of key uncertainties 

associated with parameters in these 

sections and evaluate the effects of these 

uncertainties in sufficient detail to 

support a synthesis of how accurately 

stock status could be assessed. 

Including non-serious injuries and 

disturbance in SARs: A final draft 

revision to the guidelines is the addition 

that if there are no known habitat issues 

or other factors causing a decline or 

impeding recovery, this should be stated 

in the Status of Stocks section.
