define the responsibilities for observer
providers, including reporting
requirements. Regulations at § 660.140
(i) specify requirements for catch
monitor coverage for first receivers. Data
collected by observers are used by
NMFS to estimate total landed catch
and discards, monitor the attainment of
annual groundfish allocations, estimate
catch rates of prohibited species, and as
a component in stock assessments.
These data are necessary to comply with
the Magnuson-Stevens Act requirements
to prevent overfishing. In addition,
observer data is used to assess fishing
related mortality of protected and
endangered species.
