For all pound net leaders surveyed, data shall be collected on the date, time, location of the pound nets (lat/long), distance from the beach, water depth, mesh sizes of the leader, bycatch/species entanglements, and any other relevant gear characteristics and environmental and oceanographic conditions. The contract period of performance will be 4/1/02 through 3/31/03 with an option for one (1) additional year. Any party interested in receiving a copy of the solicitation shall provide written notice to the Contracting Office. The solicitation document will be issued on or about February 21, 2002.
