Abstract

NMFS is mandated by the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) to measure and report on the effects of commercial fisheries on marine mammal stocks. One of the ways NMFS gathers this information is through the Marine Mammal Observer Program. The program In Alaska, collects information on marine mammal interactions with commercial fisheries. This information is incorporated in assessments

of the general status of marine mammal populations in Alaska.

Title: AKRO/PR: Alaska Marine Mammal Observer Program (AMMOP)
Short Name: Alaska Marine Mammal Observer Program (AMMOP)
Status: In Work
Abstract:

NMFS is mandated by the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) to measure and report on the effects of commercial fisheries on marine mammal stocks. One of the ways NMFS gathers this information is through the Marine Mammal Observer Program. The program In Alaska, collects information on marine mammal interactions with commercial fisheries. This information is incorporated in assessments

of the general status of marine mammal populations in Alaska.

Purpose:

Obtain reliable estimates of incidental serious injury and mortality of marine mammals and seabirds, determine the reliability of reports submitted by vessel owners and operators, identify changes in fishing methods or technology that may increase or decrease incidental serious injury or mortality, collect biological samples to support and promote scientific studies, record data on by-catch and discard levels of all species.
