SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The RSC 

is hosting a workshop to develop 

recommendations for the possible 

redevelopment of the Council’s RSA 

program. This is the final workshop in 

a series four that scoped out research, 

funding, and enforcement/ 

administration issues and problems 

associated with the previous RSA 

program and identified possible 

considerations and improvements 

should a new program be redeveloped. 

During this workshop, participants will 

review and provide feedback on the 

recommendations identified from the 

first three workshops, draft program 

goals and objectives, and an initial draft 

strawman of a newly designed RSA 

program developed by the RSC. Based 

on the feedback and input received 

during the workshop, the RSC will then 

make final recommendations regarding 

the potential redevelopment of the RSA 

program to the Council for 

consideration later in 2022. 

A detailed agenda and background 

documents will be made available on 

the Council’s website (www.mafmc.org) 

prior to the meeting.

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) Assessment Process 

utilizing webinars; and (3) Review 

Workshop. The product of the Data 

Workshop is a data report that 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 that 

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, 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 

webinar are as follows: 

Participants will discuss and make 

recommendations regarding what 

indices data may be included in the 

assessment of U.S. Caribbean queen 

triggerfish. 

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
