One of my primary responsibilities of my still-new (i.e. as of this year) job is to work on stock assessments. As such, I’ve been on a steep learning curve of the assessment process! I intend to do some walk-throughs here (and maybe even a video walk-through at some point). I think publicly accessible documentation on this process is at times lacking, and given that this is a process that involves public comment, I think it’s important! So, I’d be thrilled as you learn along with me.
Today is more or less the kickoff for me to start working on the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Council (ASMFC) tautog update.
