SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The participants in most Federallymanaged fisheries in the Southeast
Region are required to keep and submit
catch and effort logbooks from their
fishing trips. A subset of these vessels
also provide information on the species
and quantities of fish, shellfish, marine
turtles, and marine mammals that are
caught and discarded or have interacted
with the vessel’s fishing gear. A subset
of these vessels also provide
information about dockside prices, trip
operating costs, and annual fixed costs.
The data are used for scientific
analyses that support critical
conservation and management decisions
made by national and international
fishery management organizations.
Interaction reports are needed for
fishery management planning and to
help protect endangered species and
marine mammals. Price and cost data
will be used in analyses of the economic
effects of proposed regulations.
II. Method of Collection
The information is submitted on
paper forms.
