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 

Workshop are as follows: 

An assessment data set and associated 

documentation will be developed 

during the workshop. 

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. 

Although non-emergency issues not 

contained in this agenda may come 

before this group for discussion, those 

issues may not be the subject of formal 

action during these meetings. Action 

will be restricted to those issues 

specifically identified in this notice and 

any issues arising after publication of 

this notice that require emergency 

action under section 305(c) of the 

Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act,
