Abstract:
Owners of vessels that fish out of the eastern Pacific Ocean waters of the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission Convention Area for highly migratory species (HMS) as defined by the Fishery Management Plan for U.S. West Coast Fisheries for HMS as well as a broader group of tuna and tuna-like species covered by the IATTC using gear types longline or drift gillnet, or over 24 meters or more in length are required to submit information in regards to their planned fishing activities. These vessel owners and operators are required to submit information about their intended and actual fishing activities that would allow NMFS to monitor the fisheries under international and domestic regulations. These include pre-trip reporting requirements and VMS. Pre-trip reporting requirements are essential for assigning available observer coverage to selected HMS vessels. VMS units facilitate enforcement of management measures associated with HMS fisheries, provide timely information on associated fleet activities and enable confirmation of reported vessel fishing activity locations, which help validate logbook record accuracy.
