  1. Electronic Monitoring ProgramPacific States Marine Fisheries Commission66th Annual Meeting September 23, 2013Coeur d'Alene, Idaho Dave Colpo

  2. Why are we here? To test the viability of Electronic Monitoring (EM) as a source of data to document individual accountability of catch and bycatch in the Pacific Trawl Rationalization Program. Pacific Fisheries Management Council Decision from April 2013 Council Meeting “The Council indicated their desire to move ahead with consideration of electronic monitoring (EM) by stating that compliance monitoring, rather than the collection of biological data, would be the primary focus for EM in the trawl catch share program[...]” Is it Science or Compliance?

  3. Moving parts of an EM Program

  4. Where are they? Who are they? Westport Astoria Newport Coos Bay By Port Half Moon Bay Morro Bay

  5. 2012 Results – Fixed Gear Sector Discarded Sablefish Discarded Rockfish + Thornyheads Discarded Flatfish Video (Number of Fish) Video (Number of Fish) Video (Number of Fish) At-Sea Compliance Monitor (Number of Fish) At-Sea Compliance Monitor (Number of Fish) At-Sea Compliance Monitor (Number of Fish) Issues – Speciation, Weights

  6. Issue – 1. Speciation Digital cameras improve the resolution of images captured Digital Camera Analog Camera Digital Camera Still Difficult to Speciate Small Red Rockfish and Mixed Flatfish Flathead/ Petrale Sole Shortspine Longspine

  7. Minor Slope Rockfish Shortraker Rockfish Aurora Rockfish Rougheye Rockfish POP Rockfish Minor Slope South of 40 10’, Individual North of 40 10’

  8. Issue – 2. Weights Volumetric Density Length-Weight Relationships Sablefish Stewart, I.J., J.T. Thorson, and C. Wetzel. 2011. Status of the U.S. Sablefish resource in 2011. NOAA-NMFS-NWFSC

  9. How Close Is Close Enough? 2012 Shoreside IFQ (Hake and Non-Hake)

  10. Issue – 3. Changes in Fishing Behavior to Accommodate Cameras

  11. 2012 Results – Hake Sector At-sea Catcher Vessel Discarded Catch Shoreside hake Discarded Catch Video (Thousands of Pounds) Video (Thousands of Pounds) At-Sea Compliance Monitor (Thousands of Pounds) At-Sea Compliance Monitor (Thousands of Pounds)

  12. Issue – 4. Definitions of Catch and Discard Issue – 5. Data review time / Cost • Data collection mechanism (affects % review of video) • Video data (100% Review) • Self-reported catch and discard (logbook) (< 100% Review?) • Trawl: Mirrored retained federal logbook for discard reporting • Fixed gear: Used Oregon FG logbook as a template • At-sea Catcher Vessel: New logbook to capture location of haul, retained and discarded weights. • Speed results are needed • Frequency of data retrievals • Will a shoreside CM, tech, or the skipper be allowed to pull own drive? • Confidentiality concerns (encryption) • % review of video

  13. Vision • Logbooks as data collection mechanism • PSMFC receives Logbook at landing • Logbook catch data into a database within 72 hours • Vessel Account System hits logbook database for discard debits So far, 100% self-reported

  14. Vision • Logbooks as data collection mechanism • Video for auditing Video is reviewed to confirm accurate reporting on the logbook Still to be addressed: • Frequency of hard drive retrievals • % of video to be reviewed • Speed of video review

  15. Vision • Logbooks as data collection mechanism • Video for auditing • Emulate CM/eTix protocols to check haul and species level reporting • Trip passes if logbook record is “good enough” • Trip gets flagged if not

  16. Unanswered questions • What is the data source? Logbooks or Video? - If logbooks: - What % of video is audited? - What is a “good enough” match? - What happens if the match is not good enough? • How fast are the reviewed data needed? • What are the definitions of terms (maximized retention, catch, discard, etc)? • Quantifying discards only or both retained and discarded? • What about halibut mortality?
