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. The product of 

the SEDAR webinar series will be 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, Highly Migratory 

Species 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 nongovernmental organizations (NGOs); 

international experts; and staff of 

Councils, Commissions, and state and
