- Description
- The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Alaska Region, requires a contractor to recruit, select, supervise and outfit observers for the Alaska Marine Mammal Observer Program (AMMOP). The primary goal of this Program is to report on the number, condition, and nature of incidental injury and mortality to marine mammals and sea birds occurring during the course of Category II commercial fishing operations in Alaska. Its main objectives are, in order of priority, to: 1) obtain reliable estimates of incidental serious injury and mortality of marine mammals, 2) determine the reliability of reports submitted by vessel owners and operators, 3) identify changes in fishing methods or technology that may increase or decrease incidental serious injury or mortality if necessary, 4) obtain reliable estimates of incidental serious injury and mortality of seabirds, 5) collect biological samples for scientific studies that may otherwise be unobtainable, and 6) record data on by-catch and discard levels of all catch species. The specific tasks of this contract are scoping studies of fisheries to be observed, the collection of observer data during fishery operations, in accordance with the above priorities, and to provide industry outreach in fisheries that may include Prince William Sound drift gillnet, Southeast drift gillnet and purse seine fisheries, Bristol Bay set and drift gillnet fisheries, and the Yakutat set gillnet fishery.
