The Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council will convene its SEDAR Panel 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 uses the assessment models and input parameters from the previous full SEDAR stock assessment, as well as updated data streams in order to update the results of the previous full assessment.
The SEDAR 10 gag assessment was completed in 2006 and was re-evaluated in May 2007 with corrections to recreational bycatch estimates. The assessment concluded that, as of 2004, the gag stock was undergoing overfishing.
The SEDAR 12 red grouper assessment was completed in 2007 and concluded that the stock had recovered from a previously overfished condition.
The SEDAR Panel will meet at the NMFS office, 75 Virginia Beach Drive, Miami, Florida beginning at 1:00 p.m. Monday, March 30, 2009 and concluding no later than 1:00 p.m. Thursday, April 2, 2009. Copies of the agenda are available and can be obtained by calling the Council office at 813-348-1630.
Although other issues not on the agenda may come before the SEDAR for discussion, in accordance with the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, those issues may not be the subject of formal panel action during this meeting. Actions of the SEDAR will be restricted to those issues specifically identified in the agenda listed as available by this notice.
This meeting is open to the public and is physically accessible to people with disabilities. Requests for sign language interpretation or other auxiliary aids should be directed to Tina O’Hern five working days prior to the meeting.
