The North Pacific Observer Program plays a vital role in the conservation and management of the Bering Sea, Aleutian Islands, and Gulf of Alaska groundfish and halibut fisheries.
This draft 2019 Annual Deployment Plan (ADP) documents how the NOAA Fisheries intends to assign at-sea and shoreside observers and electronic monitoring to vessels and processing plants engaged in fishing operations in the North Pacific.
The Alaska Groundfish Fishery Observer Data Map is designed to provide visitors a tool to better understand where fish and invertebrates are caught in the Bering Sea/Aleutian Islands (BSAI) and Gulf of Alaska (GOA).
This Annual Report provides information, analysis, and recommendations based on the deployment of observers by the North Pacific Observer Program (Observer Program) during 2017.
This rockfish guide includes color images of 37 species (genera: Sebastes, Sebastolobus, and Adelosebastes) photographed under natural and electronic flash conditions in the field. Most specimens were photographed immediately after collection.
