Abstract

NWFSC Observer programs are the most comprehensive fishery dependent data collection system for total mortality estimation, protected species monitoring and discard data for stock assessments. Observer data is also used to track quotas in-season for the catch share IFQ fishery. The numerous observer program total mortality and bycatch reports are used by agency and council staff for management of federal and state fisheries on the west coast of the US. Observer program bycatch reports, data collection and research activities are also used to manage ESA listed species and fulfill Biological Opinion obligations.

Observer raw data is matched to fish tickets to produce haul specific catch totals.

Data Access Constraints:	Data is stored on a restricted network share drive and only authorized users are allowed access to this Confidential data

Description:	Spreadsheet

Accuracy:	High
Quality Control Procedures Employed:	Analysts perform manual and automated, detailed review to match Observer-collected and commercial landings data

Have Resources for Management of these Data Been Identified?:	No
Approximate Percentage of Budget for these Data Devoted to Data Management:	0
Do these Data Comply with the Data Access Directive?:	No
Is Access to the Data Limited Based on an Approved Waiver?:	Yes
If Distributor (Data Hosting Service) is Needed, Please Indicate:	No
Approximate Delay Between Data Collection and Dissemination:	60
If Delay is Longer than Latency of Automated Processing, Indicate Under What Authority Data Access is Delayed:	Analytical matching and QA/QC
Actual or Planned Long-Term Data Archive Location:	NCEI-MD
Approximate Delay Between Data Collection and Archiving:	365
How Will the Data Be Protected from Accidental or Malicious Modification or Deletion Prior to Receipt by the Archive?:	The Northwest Fisheries Science Center facilitates backup and recovery of all data and IT components which are managed by IT Operations through the capture of static (point-in-time) backup data to physical media. Once data is captured to physical media (every 1-3 days), a duplicate is made and routinely (weekly) transported to an offsite archive facility where it is maintained throughout the data's applicable life-cycle.

Lineage Statement:	Multiple R scripts are used to match observer-collected fisheries discard data with commercial retained fisheries landings data.
