Description:"Observations of the shark-directed bottom longline fishery in the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico have been conducted since 1994. From 1994 through 2001, observer coverage was voluntary but beginning with the 2002 fishing season, observer coverage became mandatory under authority of 50 CFR 635.7. Observer coverage from 1994 through the 1st trimester of 2005 was coordinated by the Commercial Shark Fishery Observer Program (CSFOP), Florida Museum of Natural History, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL (Morgan et al. in press). Observer coverage for this fishery is required under the current federal management plan for highly migratory species (NMFS, 2007). Starting with the 2nd trimester season of 2005, responsibility for the fishery observer program was transferred to National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Southeast Fisheries Science Center (SEFSC), Panama City Laboratory"--Introduction.
