Observer Information (Non-Catch Share fishery bycatch analysis and reporting)

  1. The purpose of this project is to collect catch and biological information from commercial west coast fisheries that interact with groundfish species.

  2. The project is a collaboration between NOAA Fisheries and Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission (PSMFC).

  3. We place observers on commercial fishing vessels to collect data on catch and to collect biological data. After collection, data will be quality controlled and then used to produce reports on fishery specific catch of species and mortality of groundfish species.

  4. The data are analyzed to produce GIS maps and for a variety of other reasons related to scientific investigation and fishery management. There are many products of this project, including yearly reporting of fishery catch, mortality of groundfish, bycatch of halibut and protected species, and to write manuscripts.

  5. The primary management audience is the Pacific Fisheries Management Council.

  6. On-going project.

  7. Stand-alone project.

  8. We have many deadlines throughout a year from management, scientific, regional, industry, and other users of observer data and observer data analyzes. Information on observers, such as deployment history, address, phone, email, emergency contacts, pictures and material that supports them meeting required standards (transcripts, statement of criminal history)
