As part of its fishery management responsibilities, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) implemented a trawl rationalization (catch share) program for the Pacific coast groundfish fishery's trawl fleet, which requires 100 percent monitoring. Implementing an electronic monitoring (EM) program for catcher vessels in the mothership and shore-based sectors can supplement, and potentially replace, observer coverage. The collection supports the certification and data requirements for EM service providers and vessel owners necessary for program implementation and compliance.
