This Seminar Series features presentations on scientific studies relevant to fisheries in federal waters of the South Atlantic. The seminars are conducted via webinar and are open to members of the public. The presentations are also recorded for later viewing. The presentations are for informational purposes only, and no management actions are taken.
The seminars are held on the second Tuesday of each month from 1 to 2:30 PM (eastern time zone) except for months with Council meetings (March, June, September, December). You may register for the webinar ahead of the seminar or tune in as the seminar starts. Following the presentation, members of the public have an opportunity to participate in the discussion.
