Project Description
SEDAR 100 Assessment will address the stock assessment for Gulf Gray Triggerfish. The process began in June 2025 with Data Scoping Webinar, followed by a Data Workshop held in August 2025 and a Review Workshop to be held in August 2026. The assessment should be completed September 2026. For more information, please contact the SEDAR Coordinator for this project, Julie A. Neer: julie.neer@safmc.net
NOTE: SEDAR Working papers document the methods, datasets, and preliminary analyses that are under consideration at the various workshops and therefore do not necessarily represent final consensus opinions of workshop participants. Working paper findings and methods may change following workshop review. Working papers should not be cited without author permission.

Workshop Presentations
SEDAR 100 Gulf Gray Triggerfish Assessment Process
The assessment process for SEDAR 100 was conducted internally by the SEFSC. No SEDAR-led workshops or webinars were conducted. There may be a pre-decisional presentation to the Gulf Council SSC prior to the completion of the assessment process, where feedback may be provided to the analytic team.
SEDAR 100 Gulf Gray Triggerfish Review Workshop
The SEDAR 100 Review Workshop is an in-person workshop to be held at the Hilton Tampa Airport Westshore, 2225 N. Lois Ave, Tampa, FL 33607. The meeting is open to the public and a livestream will be available to observe the proceedings.
