I. Abstract
This request is for extension of a
current information collection.
Participants in most Federallymanaged fisheries in the Southeast
Region are currently 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.
