18616 Observer Information (Non-Catch Share fishery bycatch analysis and reporting) Data Set Published / External 17981 FRAM (Fishery Resource Analysis and Monitoring) Division Project In Work 2001-08-15 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. 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).

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. Observers capture fisheries discard data by observing discards while on applicable vessels gov.noaa.nmfs.inport:18616 Jeffrey Cowen 2013-03-01T14:34:43 SysAdmin InPortAdmin 2026-03-04T19:17:17 2019-06-07 Northwest Fisheries Science Center NWFSC 2725 Montlake Boulevard East Seattle WA 98112 USA 206-860-3200 https://www.nwfsc.noaa.gov 1001 Public No No 2019-06-07 1 Year 2020-06-07
