Needs and Uses: In 2011, the National

observers must be obtained through
third-party observer provider companies
operating under permits issued by
NMFS. The regulations at §§ 660.140
(h), 660.150 (j), and 660.160 (g), specify
observer coverage requirements for
trawl vessels and 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

related mortality of protected and
endangered species.
