Observer Performance Evaluation
In an attempt to monitor the quality of observers we deploy on commercial fishing vessels, we would appreciate it if you would complete this questionnaire at the conclusion of your observed trip. The purpose of the questionnaire is to ensure that the observers conduct themselves professionally and safely during their deployment on your vessel. Please fill in the information below and return it to the port coordinator. The information you provide is important in helping us to collect quality data that is being used for stock assessments and fishing regulations. If you are the owner of the vessel and were not present during the trip, please consult with your captain.
