April 12, 2013 — New information has been added to the report entitled, "Summary of Analyses Conducted to Determine at-Sea Monitoring requirements for Multispecies Sectors, 2013." This document explains and justifies the appropriate level of at-sea observer coverage needed to monitor and enforce catch levels for fishing year 2013 for vessels participating in Northeast multispecies sectors and can be found on NOAA Fisheries Northeast Regional Office's website.
Two new Appendices F and G have been added to the report containing information that expands the discussion of timeliness of at-sea observer data, and the legal restrictions on the release of confidential data in the groundfish fishery. Data contained in the report is for the full strata (sector, area, gear) in the fishery, though confidential data is redacted.
