I. Abstract
Under a Guam Bottomfish Large
Vessel Fishing Permit authorized under
the Fishery Management Plan for
Bottomfish of the Western Pacific
Region, the National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS) requires U.S. fishing
vessels registered for use, or any U.S.
citizen issuee, to maintain on board the
vessel an accurate and complete logbook
and submit it to NMFS. The information
in the logbook is used to obtain fish
catch, fishing effort, and other data on
bottomfish harvested in the area outside
50 nm of Guam shores. These data are
needed to determine the condition of
the fish stocks and whether or not the
current management measures are
having the intended effects, to evaluate
the benefits and costs of changes in
management measures, and to monitor
and respond to incidental takes of
endangered and threatened species.
II. Method of Collection
All information is recorded on paper
logbook sheets.
