Description:"In 1992, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NM FS) initiated scientific sampling of the U.S. large pelagic fisheries longline fleet, as mandated by the U.S. Swordfish Fisheries Management Plan and subsequently the Atlantic Highly Migratory Species Fishery Management Plan (1998). 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). In 1997, the SEFSC assumed sole responsibility for observer coverage of the pelagic longline fleet, however, observers associated with the NEFSC assisted with coverage of vessels in the northeast region in 1997, 1999, and 2000. Although this report will refer to the Pelagic Observer Program (POP) located at the SEFSC Miami Laboratory, the summary data presented in this report reflect the combined efforts of the SEFSC and NEFSC"--Introduction, paragraph 1.
