NOAA Fisheries Integrated Toolbox: presentation by Kathryn Doering: kathryn.doering@noaa.gov
Alaska: Ben Williams
Most involved using CEATTLE (ADMB) or RCEATTLE (R/TMB). Minimal MSE uses of these models to date; they have been focused on multi-species and climate-informed assessments.
Rceattle https://github.com/grantdadams/Rceattle
A spatial framework that is centered around sablefish in Alaska (R/TMB) is setup to be used in an MSE framework. We are currently generalizing this model to explore the HCR for sablefish and other fisheries - and looking for a postdoc(s).

Hawaii-Western Pacific: Rob Ahrens
MSE for priority species identified in the Jurisdictional Coral Reef Fishery Management Plan for Department of Aquatic and Wildlife Resources in Guam. These are MSEs for data limited species.
The process mainly uses the LBSPR package Hordyk A (2021). LBSPR: Length-Based Spawning Potential Ratio. R package version 0.1.6,https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=LBSPR.
Coding environment is R

Northwest: Kristin Marshall
Hake MSE climate-robustness testing of HCRs to changes and variability in recruitment, growth, and distribution. Developing and testing one year ahead recruitment forecasts using predictors from ROMS, and larval and juvenile survey data. Long-term projections developed from ROMS variables will inform future recruitment scenarios. https://github.com/pacific-hake/pacifichakemse

Woods Hole Assessment Model (WHAM) state space R/TMB framework with single species, single area MSE capabilities:
Summer Flounder recreational discards MSE combined two custom built models:
