NOAA Program & Office:

NMFS (National Marine Fisheries Service)
Description:

In FY2006, NMFS observer programs continued to provide high quality biological information on the nation’s fisheries, data that are relied upon by the agency to manage the nation’s marine resources. Observer data are used in stock assessments, quota monitoring, and development of protected species bycatch reduction measures. These data will become increasingly important under the 2006 Magnuson-Stevens Conservation and Management Reauthorization Act (MSRA), which emphasizes the use of scientific data in the fisheries management process.
