Title: Maximized Retention Monitoring Program for Catcher Vessels in the Pacific Whiting Mothership Fishery in the Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery
Abstract: The action would implement a monitoring program for catcher vessels in the mothership sector of the Pacific whiting fishery off the coast of Washington, Oregon, and California. The monitoring program would consist of a camera and other sensors to monitor fishing activity in order to maintain the integrity of the maximized retention requirements found at 50 CFR 660.306 (f)(7). Maximized retention encourages full retention of all catch while allowing minor discard events to occur. This ensures that unsorted catch is available for observers to monitor on board the mothership processors and thereby maintains the integrity of data collected under the observer program.
