Description:
This document describes the methods used to identify and apportion the observer sea days among selection systems, presents the numbers of sea days by fleet and selection system, and outlines the expected observer coverage by fleet provided by the SBRM NEFOP PTNS sea days. The expected contributions of SBRM NEFOP PTNS sea days toward the 2 FMP-specific industry-funded monitoring total combined targets are approximate and derived based on previous Vessel Trip Report activity. The NMS FMP industry-funded monitoring target requirement is a combination of SBRM NEFOP sea days and ASM realized coverage. The IFM HERR FMP industry-funded monitoring target requirement is a combination of SBRM NEFOP sea days and IFM HERR realized coverage. The expected observer coverage values by fleet are used to inform the initial SBRM coverage rate settings within PTNS at the start of a sampling program. Once a sampling program is underway, coverage rates are monitored and adjusted as needed in order to optimize sea day accomplishments.
