Download or read book Guidelines for Developing an At sea Fishery Observer Programme written by Sandy I. Davies and published by Fao. This book was released on 2003 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These guidelines are intended to help those involved in managing fisheries to understand the range of objectives that an observer programme can meet and how these contribute towards the management of a fishery. The importance of scientific, compliance and information outputs is considered in relation to the requirements for developing and implementing management plans. The guidelines promote the use of observers as agents capable of contributing to many monitoring, sampling and compliance activities required in modern integrated fisheries management. The inputs, requirements and outputs of at-sea fishery observer programmes are presented, focusing on what they are, how they relate to the objectives of a programme and different options on how to develop them. The guidelines conclude with a design and maintenance strategy for an observer programme.

Book excerpt: Soon after 2:00 a.m. on Easter morning 2008, the fishing trawler Alaska Ranger began taking on water in the middle of the frigid Bering Sea. While the first mate broadcast Mayday calls to a remote Coast Guard station more than eight hundred miles away, the men on the ship’s icy deck scrambled to inflate life rafts and activate beacon lights. By 4:30 a.m., most of the forty-seven crew members were in the water. Many knew that if they weren’t rescued soon, they would drown or freeze to death. Two Coast Guard helicopter rescue teams were woken up in the middle of the night to save the crew of the Alaska Ranger. Many of the men thought the mission would be routine. They were wrong. The helicopter teams battled snow squalls, enormous swells, and gale-force winds as they tried to fulfill one guiding principle: save as many as possible. Deadliest Sea is a daring and mesmerizing adventure tale that chronicles the power of nature against man. Veteran journalist Kalee Thompson recounts the harrowing stories of both the rescuers and the rescued while paying tribute to the courage, tenacity, and skill of the dedicated people who risk their lives for the lives of others.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In 1992, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) initiated scientific sampling of the U.S. large pelagic fisheries longline fleet, as mandated by the U.S. Swordfish Fisheries Management Plan. Scientific observers were placed aboard vessels participating in the Atlantic large pelagic fishery by the Southeast Fisheries Science Center (SEFSC) and the Northeast Fisheries Science Center (NEFSC). The SEFSC coverage occurs on, but is not limited to, vessels fishing for large pelagic species in the northwest Atlantic south ofVrrginia. The scientific observer program contracted and monitored by the NEFSC provides coverage of the large pelagic fleet fishing the offshore waters from Virginia north to the Grand Banks. Although both regional programs sample the pelagic longline fishery, the NEFSC data were not available for a thorough analysis through 1996. Only the numbers oflongline vessels covered and sets observed were summarized for this report"--Introduction, paragraph 1

Book excerpt: "During FY 2011, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA), National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) executed observer programs in each region with over 1,000 observers and 79,570 sea days observed in 47 fisheries nationwide. The NMFS increased observer coverage in the Northeast and Northwest regions to collect data used to monitor new catch and bycatch limits established under new catch share management measures in the Northeast multispecies groundfish fishery and the Northwest trawl rationalization program. Although NMFS did not receive its congressional appropriation until July 2011, nearly 10 months into the fiscal year, observer programs managed to set a record number of sea days observed in fiscal year (FY) 2011."--Executive summary.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This Annual Report provides information, analysis, and recommendations based on the deployment of observers by the North Pacific Observer Program (Observer Program) during 2017. Section 313 of the Magnuson-Stevens Act (16 U.S.C. 1862) authorizes the North Pacific Fishery Management Council (Council), in consultation with National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), to prepare a fishery research plan for the purpose of stationing observers and electronic monitoring (EM) systems to collect data necessary for the conservation, management, and scientific understanding of the commercial groundfish and Pacific halibut fisheries of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands (BSAI) and Gulf of Alaska (GOA) management areas. Observers and EM systems collect fishery-dependent information used to estimate total catch and interactions with protected species. Managers use these data to manage groundfish and prohibited species catch within established limits and to document and reduce fishery interactions with protected resources. Scientists use fishery-dependent data to assess fish stocks, to provide scientific information for fisheries and ecosystem research and fishing fleet behavior, to assess marine mammal interactions with fishing gear, and to assess fishing interactions with habitat. Each year, the Annual Deployment Plan (ADP) describes the science-driven method for deployment of observers on vessels in the partial coverage category (50 CFR 679.51(a)) in the halibut and groundfish fisheries off Alaska. The following year, the agency provides an Annual Report with descriptive information and scientific evaluation the deployment of observers. The ADP and Annual Report process provides information to assess whether the objectives of the Observer Program have been met and a process to make recommendations to improve implementation of the program to further these objectives."--Executive Summary.
