Project Description
SEDAR 58 was an Atlantic Cobia benchmark assessment. Cobia Stock ID was resolved prior to the start of the SEDAR 58 Data Workshop using the multi-step Stock ID Resolution Process developed by the SEDAR Steering Committee. The Stock ID process included a Stock ID Workshop on April 10-12, 2018; a Stock ID Review Workshop on June 5-7, 2018; a Joint Cooperator Technical Review Webinar in late July/August 2018; and a Science and Management Leadership Call in August 2018.
The Data Workshop was scheduled to be held January 14-18, 2019 in Charleston, SC, however, it has been postponed due to the federal government shutdown. The Data Workshop was rescheduled for April 1-5, 2019. The Assessment Process was held via a series of webinars currently scheduled from June – October 2019 and the Review Workshop was scheduled for November 19-21, 2019.
