Hydrographic Services Review Panel Meeting, 6484 [E8-1965]

Download as PDF 6484 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 23 / Monday, February 4, 2008 / Notices I. Abstract The Large Pelagic Fishing Survey consists of dockside and telephone surveys of recreational anglers for large pelagic fish (tunas, sharks, and billfish) in the Atlantic Ocean. The survey provides NMFS with information to monitor catch of bluefin tuna, marlin and other federally-managed species. Catch monitoring in these fisheries and collection of catch and effort statistics for all pelagic fish is required under the Atlantic Tunas Convention Act and the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act. The information collected is essential for the U.S. to meet its reporting obligations to the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tuna. Due to funding limitations, the Large Pelagic Fishing Survey has only been conducted from Maine through Virginia in previous years. In 2008 NMFS proposes to conduct pilot studies to characterize the recreational large pelagic fisheries in the South Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico, and Caribbean regions. II. Method of Collection Dockside and telephone interviews are used for the Large Pelagic Fishing Survey. In lieu of telephone interviews, respondents may also provide information via faxed logsheets or online via a web tool. The pilot studies in the South Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico, and Caribbean will use telephone interviews. ebenthall on PRODPC61 with NOTICES III. Data OMB Number: 0648–0380. Form Number: None.
