Statistician, Gulf of Mexico Fishery 

Management Council; telephone: 813–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Gulf 

of Mexico Fishery Management Council 

(Council) will convene the SEDAR Gag/ 

Red Grouper Update Workshop 

(SEDAR) to conduct update assessments 

of the SEDAR 10 gag stock assessment 

and the SEDAR 12 red grouper stock 

assessment. An update assessment is a 

single workshop that utilizes the 

assessment models and input 

parameters from the previous full 

SEDAR assessment, with minor 

modifications if any, and updated data 

streams to update the results of the 

previous full assessment. The SEDAR 10 

gag assessment was completed in 2006, 

and was subsequently re-evaluated in 

May 2007 with corrections to 

recreational bycatch estimates. The 

assessment concluded that, as of 2004 

(the final year of available catch data), 

the gag stock was not overfished, but it 

was undergoing overfishing. The 

SEDAR 12 red grouper assessment was 

completed in 2007. Using catch data 

through 2005, the assessment concluded 

that the stock had recovered from an 

overfished condition in the mid–1990s, 

and that as of 2005, the stock was not 

undergoing overfishing and stock 

biomass was slightly above its optimum 

yield (OY) target level. 

A copy of the agenda and related 

materials can be obtained by calling the 

Council office at 813–348–1630. 

Although other non-emergency issues 

not on the agendas may come before the 

SEDAR for discussion, in accordance 

with the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act (MSFCMA), those issues may not be the 

subject of formal action during this 

meeting. Actions of the SEDAR will be 

restricted to those issues specifically 

identified in the agendas and any issues 

arising after publication of this notice 

that require emergency action under 

Section 305(c) of the M-SFCMA, 

provided the public has been notified of 

the Council’s intent to take action to 

address the emergency. 

Special Accommodations 

These meetings are physically 

accessible to people with disabilities. 

Requests for sign language 

interpretation or other auxiliary aids 

should be directed to Tina O’Hern at the 

Council (see ADDRESSES) five working
