SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The owners of vessels that fish out of
West Coast ports for highly migratory
species such as tuna, billfish and sharks
are required to submit information
about their fishing activities so that the
National Marine Fisheries Service and
the Pacific Fishery Management Council
will be able to monitor the fisheries and
determine the effects and effectiveness
of the Fishery Management Plan (FMP)
for U.S. West Coast Fisheries for Highly
Migratory Species (HMS).
The catch and effort statistics from
logbooks are essential for evaluating if
the objectives of the FMP are being
achieved and for evaluating the impacts
of potential changes in management to
respond to new information or new
problems in the fisheries. The use of
vessel monitoring system units will
facilitate enforcement of closures
associated with the longline fishery.
II. Method of Collection
Paper logbooks and electronic reports
are required from participants.
