SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The owners of vessels that fish out of 

West Coast ports for highly migratory 

species such as tuna, billfish and sharks 

are required to submit information 

about their fishing activities so that the 

National Marine Fisheries Service and 

the Pacific Fishery Management Council 

will be able to monitor the fisheries and 

determine the effects and effectiveness 

of the Fishery Management Plan (FMP) 

for U.S. West Coast Fisheries for Highly 

Migratory Species (HMS). 

The catch and effort statistics from 

logbooks are essential for evaluating if 

the objectives of the FMP are being 

achieved and for evaluating the impacts 

of potential changes in management to 

respond to new information or new 

problems in the fisheries. The use of 

vessel monitoring system units will 

facilitate enforcement of closures 

associated with the longline fishery. 

II. Method of Collection 

Paper logbooks and electronic reports 

are required from participants.
