SEDAR 8 addressed assessments of spiny lobster and yellowtail snapper stocks in the Caribbean and spiny lobster in the Southeastern United States. Data and Assessment Workshops for Caribbean spiny lobster and yellowtail snapper were adminstered through SEDAR and the Caribbean Fishery Management Council. Assessment lead was provided by the SEFSC Miami Laboratory. For organization purposes, documentation of the Caribbean Assessments is provided here as workshop "8.1", whereas documentation of the Southeastern United States spiny lobster assessment is listed separately under workshop "8.2". Although a single Review Workshop addressed both Caribbean and Southeastern US assessments, documents pertaining to those assessments are listed under the appropriate workshop heading (e.g., 8.1 or 8.2). The Data Workshop convened December 6 - 10 in St. Thomas, USVI; the Assessment workshop convened March 14 - 18, 2005 in St. Croix, USVI; the Review Workshop convened May 16 - 20, 2005 in San Juan, PR.
