Abstract:
The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) requires that operators of fishing tournaments involving Atlantic Highly Migratory Species (HMS) provide advance identification of the tournament (registration) and then, for selected tournaments, provide summary information after the tournament is completed (reporting) on the HMS caught, whether they were kept or released, the length and weight of the fish, and other information. Most of the the data required for post-tournament reporting is already collected in the routine course of tournament operations. The data collected is needed by NMFS to estimate the total annual catch of these species, to evaluate the impact of tournament fishing in relation to other types of fishing, and to evaluate the impact of HMS management measures on tournament operations. This request adds minor changes to the Tournaments Registration form.
