The Scientific and
Statistical Committee (SSC) is the Gulf Council's
primary technical advisory body. SSCs are charged in
the reauthorized Magnuson-Stevens Act (MSA) with
developing, evaluating, and peer reviewing all
technical aspects of council documents. SSCs are
expected to provide a broad suite of technical
recommendations related to all aspects of the
Council's management program, including addressing
biological, social, economic, and environmental
aspects. SSCs also play a role in stock assessment
development and review; in the Southeast region this
responsibility is handled through the Southeast Data
Assessment and Review (SEDAR) process.

additional information related to the
responsibilities of the SSC.
