Project Description
SEDAR 101 will develop a stock assessment for HMS Sandbar Sharks. The Data Workshop was scheduled for May 2025 and then postponed until December 2025. Due to the 2025 government shutdown, the Data Workshop has been postponed again until April 21-24, 2026 and will be held at the Town and Country, 2008 Savannah Hwy, Charleston, SC 29407.
For more information, please contact the SEDAR Coordinator for this project, Emily Ott: Emily.Ott@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.
