SUMMARY:

I. Abstract
Under the Fishery Management Plan
for United States (U.S.) West Coast
Fisheries for Highly Migratory Species
(HMS) U.S. fishermen participating in
the Pacific hook-and-line (also known as
the albacore troll and poll-and-line),
coastal purse seine (vessels less than
400 st carrying capacity), large-mesh
drift gillnet, and swordfish harpoon
fisheries are required to obtain an HMS
permit. Permit holders are also required
to complete and submit logbooks
documenting their daily fishing

activities, including catch and effort for
each fishing trip. Logbook forms must
be completed within 24 hours of the
completion of each fishing day and
submitted to the Southwest Fisheries
Science Center (SWFSC) within 30 days
of the end of each trip. Federal
regulations allow the use of state
logbooks to fulfill this requirement; for
example, Washington commercial
passenger fishing vessels have fulfilled
this requirement to date for HMS
fisheries. These data and associated
analyses help the SWFSC provide
critical HMS fisheries information to
researchers, fisheries managers, and the
needed management advice to the U.S.
in its negotiations with foreign fishing
nations that fish for HMS.
II. Method of Collection
Respondents have a choice of either
electronic data submission or paper
forms for hook-and-line logbooks.
Currently, purse seine, drift gillnet, and
harpoon are only collected in paper
form. Fillable pdf forms are available for
hook-and-line logbooks. Methods of
submittal include secure electronic
transmission and mailing of paper
forms.
