Amendment 31 to the Coastal Migratory 

Pelagics Fishery Management Plan 

The draft amendment contains one 

action to revise the federal management 

system for Atlantic Migratory Group 

Cobia. Atlantic cobia are currently 

managed in federal waters from Georgia 

to New York. The amendment contains 

a range of alternatives from 

complementary management for 

Atlantic cobia with the Atlantic States 

Marine Fisheries Commission (ASMFC) 

to removal of Atlantic cobia from the 

federal management unit. Amendment 

31 is expected to facilitate improved 

coordination of state and federal 

management of Atlantic cobia and 

provide for fair and equitable access to 

Atlantic cobia harvest opportunities. 

During the public hearings, Council 

staff will present an overview of the 

amendment and will be available for 

informal discussions and to answer 

questions via webinar. Area Council 

members will be present at each of the 

Listening Stations. Members of the

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 

typically a three-step process including: 

(1) Data Workshop; (2) Assessment 

Process utilizing workshop and/or 

webinars; and (3) Review Workshop. 

The product of the Data Workshop is a 

data report which 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 which 

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, 

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 

federal agencies. 

The items of discussion at the Stock 

ID Data Scoping Webinar are as follows: 

1. Participants will review the SEDAR 

58 Cobia Stock ID process. 

2. Participants will identify potential 

data sources and discuss data needs and
