The Pacific Fishery Management Council (Pacific Council) and the NMFS Northwest and Southwest Fisheries Science Centers will convene a virtual pre-assessment workshop to review proposed data and modeling approaches to inform groundfish stock assessments for chilipepper rockfish and California quillback rockfish scheduled for assessment during 2025. The workshop is open to the public. The pre-assessment workshop will be held Thursday, January 23, 2025 from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. Pacific Time or until business for the day has been completed.
This meeting is being conducted remotely with a web broadcast that provides the opportunity for remote public comment. In the event an outage occurs or technical issues arise that impact the experience of remote attendees, we will attempt to resolve them, but ultimately we cannot guarantee that they will be resolved satisfactorily.
Purpose of the meeting
The purpose of the pre-assessment workshop is to review proposed data inputs, modeling approaches, and any other pertinent information to inform 2025 stock assessments for chilipepper rockfish and California quillback rockfish. The goal of the pre-assessment workshop is to promote dialogue about and a common understanding between assessment teams and data providers of the best data and analytical and modeling approaches applicable to these assessments. Stock assessment teams will solicit advice from data stewards, stakeholders, and fishery managers knowledgeable about these species.
