Common use of DATA COLLECTION & AT-SEA MONITORS Clause in Contracts

DATA COLLECTION & AT-SEA MONITORS. The Service Provider must ensure that 10 all At-Sea Monitors are trained and equipped in accordance with NEFSC/NMFS 11 standards. At-Sea Monitors (“ASM”) primary responsibility is to collect accurate 12 actual weights on the discard portion of the catch, as well as accounting for all 13 catch (kept and discarded) on each tow/haul. Data collected by the ASM will be 14 used to quantify the discards that occur on that trip. This data will also be used to 15 estimate the discards that occur by sector vessel trips that were not selected to 16 take an ASM. The ASM will be responsible for describing various aspects of the 17 gear(s) and recording the catch compensation and corresponding weights on a 18 haul by haul basis.
