The SEDAR Procedural Workshop 8 (PW 08) will be convened to improve the quality of fishery-independent data inputs and streamline future stock assessments by defining best practices for generating indices of relative abundance and size composition that incorporate data from multiple surveys and/or account for survey changes through time. The in-person workshop was held November 2-4, 2022 in Tampa, Florida. A series of webinars were held before and after the workshop from May 2021 – November 2022. The findings of the workshop panel were planned to be available January 2023. Since that time, there have been several personnel changes, as well as various funding and staffing issues that have impacted the ability to get the report completed. The report is now projected to be completed in 2026.
