There are currently approximately 1,932 permitted vessels that harvest shrimp from the Exclusive Economic Zone, and the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) Fishery Management Council (Council) estimates that there are over 13,000 boats that fish in state waters. With such a large number of vessels of differing sizes, gears used, and fishing capabilities compounded by seasonal variability in abundance and price and the broad geographic distribution of the fleet, it is practically impossible to estimate the actual amount of fishing effort using current methods and data. The only practical way of improving the estimates of the amount and type of bycatch is by having a more precise means of estimating effort. Therefore, Amendment 13 to the GOM shrimp fishery amended the Fishery Management Plan to include a mandatory electronic logbook program.
