presentation is part of an on-going seminar series hosted by the 
Council on scientific studies relevant to fisheries in federal waters 
off the South Atlantic U.S. coast.

DATES: The webinar presentation will be held on Tuesday, November 8, 
2022, from 1 p.m. until 2:30 p.m.

ADDRESSES: The presentation will be provided via webinar. The webinar

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Council will host a presentation from 
Florida Atlantic University and Mississippi State Sea Grant entitled 
``A Citizen-science Approach to Characterize Shark Depredation in 
Recreational Fisheries''. The presentation will address depredation, 
defined as the partial or complete removal of a target species by a 
non-target species. Depredation is an increasingly topical human-
wildlife conflict worldwide. Effectively managing and mitigating 
depredation requires a comprehensive characterization of the 
interaction; however, our current understanding of depredation is 
limited. Thus, the goals of this project were to combine content 
analysis, angler surveys, and molecular tools to characterize 
depredation in Florida's recreational hook and line fishery. A 
question-and-answer session will follow the presentation. Members of 
the public will have the opportunity to participate in the discussion. 
The presentation is for informational purposes only and no management 
actions will be taken.

Special Accommodations

    The meeting is physically accessible to people with disabilities. 
Requests for auxiliary aids should be directed to the Council office 
(see ADDRESSES) 5 days prior to the meeting.

    Note: The times and sequence specified in this agenda are 
subject to change.
