Observer Logistics (OBSLOG) - Observer Program Operations and Analysis

NWFSC Observer programs are the most comprehensive fishery dependent data collection system for total mortality estimation, protected species monitoring and discard data for stock assessments. Observer data is also used to track quotas in-season for the catch share IFQ fishery. The numerous observer program total mortality and bycatch reports are used by agency and council staff for management of federal and state fisheries on the west coast of the US. Observer program bycatch reports, data collection and research activities are also used to manage ESA listed species and fulfill Biological Opinion obligations.
Information on observers, such as deployment history, address, phone, email, emergency contacts, pictures and material that supports them meeting required standards (transcripts, statement of criminal history).
