Project Description
SEDAR 82 addressed the stock assessment for South Atlantic Gray Triggerfish. The Data process was a series of webinars and an in-person workshop held September 2022 in Charleston, SC. The Assessment Process was a series of webinars in 2023, followed by a Review Workshop, held in Atlantic Beach, NC March 2024.
