March 17, 2022 — The following was released by the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission:
The Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission’s Red Drum Simulation Assessment will be peer-reviewed from March 28-30, 2022. The Simulation Assessment will evaluate multiple candidate models using simulated data sets to identify the model best suited for tracking red drum population dynamics. Once a preferred model is identified, it will be used in future benchmark assessments to provide advice to the Sciaenids Fishery Management Board on red drum management.
The Review Workshop is open to the public and will be held at the DoubleTree Brownstone Hotel, 1707 Hillsborough Street, Raleigh, North Carolina. The Workshop agenda can be found at http://www.asmfc.org/files/Meetings/RedDrumAssessmentReviewWorkshop.pdf.
The Simulation Assessment and Review Report will be considered by the Sciaenids Fishery Management Board in May 2022. For more information, please contact Tina Berger, Director of Communications, at tberger@asmfc.org or 703.842.0740.
