Below is the uncorrected machine-read text of this chapter, intended to provide our own search engines and external engines with highly rich, chapter-representative searchable text of each book. Because it is UNCORRECTED material, please consider the following text as a useful but insufficient proxy for the authoritative book pages.
Appendix F Compilation of Science Center and Management Council Reports and Committees The following is a compilation of regional fisheries science centers and the committees that conduct stock assessment and peer review, and the fishery management councils they support and the committees and panels that provide advice. Stock assessment workshops are run primarily by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Fisheries scientists and staff with input from council staff and a variety of stakeholders in the particular fishery. NOAA scientists (or sometimes paid consultants) conduct the assessments. Peer review is first managed by NOAA Fisheries for internal and external review before assessments are submitted to the councils. After submission, the councilâs advisory bodies review assessments and other reports and provide input. 85
