FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

At its
September 2017 meeting, the Pacific
Council decided to embark on the
Climate and Communities Initiative
pursuant to its Fishery Ecosystem Plan.
The purpose of this initiative is to help
the Pacific Council, its advisory bodies,
and the public to better understand the
effects of near-term climate shift and
long-term climate change on our fish,
fisheries, and fishing communities and
identify ways in which the Council
could incorporate such understanding
into its decision-making. The EWG will
be submitting a report to the Pacific
Council at its March 2018 meeting with
its recommendations on the
development of this initiative. This
webinar is an opportunity for members
of other Pacific Council advisory bodies
and the public to be briefed on the
EWG’s recommendations in preparation
for the March Pacific Council meeting.
Although non-emergency issues not
contained in the meeting agenda may be
discussed, those issues may not be the
subject of formal action during this
meeting. Action will be restricted to
those issues specifically listed in this
document and any issues arising after
publication of this document that
require emergency action under section
305(c) of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act,
provided the public has been notified of
the intent to take final action to address
the emergency.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
DATES:

I. Abstract
This request is for extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
This data collection project will be
coordinated by the NOAA Marine
Debris Program, and involve
recreational and commercial vessels
(respondents), shipboard observers
(respondents), NGOs (respondents) as
well as numerous experts on marine
debris observations at sea. The
Shipboard Observation Form for
Floating Marine Debris was created
based on methods used in studies of
floating marine debris by established
researchers, previous shipboard
observational studies conducted at sea
by NOAA, and the experience and input
of recreational sailors. The goal of this
form is to be able to calculate the
density of marine debris within an area
of a known size. Additionally, this form
will help collect data on potential
marine debris resulting from future
severe marine debris generating events
in order to better model movement of
the debris as well as prepare (as needed)
for debris arrival. This form may
additionally be used to collect data on
floating marine debris in any water
body.
II. Method of Collection
Respondents have a choice of either
electronic or paper forms. Methods of
submittal include email of electronic
forms, and mail and facsimile
transmission of paper forms.
