The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) are holding a third assessment webinar for the Southeast Data, Assessment, and Review (SEDAR) 68 process. This process focuses on evaluating the population status and management of the scamp grouper in the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic. The webinar will take place on March 22, 2021, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. Eastern Time. Participants will discuss and recommend methods for assessing the fish stock using data gathered in previous webinars.
Simple Explanation
The folks who look after the fish in the sea are having an online meeting to talk about how many scamp groupers, a type of fish, live in some big ocean areas. They'll use information from past meetings to decide the best ways to count and protect these fish.
