National Bycatch Report 2010 - Present

Description

This system collects bycatch data and fishery landings data from all five NOAA Fisheries Regions and automates the generation of the tables required to publish the National Bycatch Report (NBR). The NBR documents bycatch estimates, using observer data and self-reported logbook data, for all fisheries for which this information is available. NBR bycatch estimates are fishery- and species-specific. The NBR includes bycatch estimates for fish, marine mammals, sea turtles, seabirds, and corals. Future NBR reports will include additional bycatch estimates as new fisheries are monitored and new data are analyzed. Over time, the NBR, along with other information sources, should help improve NOAA Fisheries' ability to monitor bycatch trends, improve stock assessments, and set fishery monitoring priorities, as well as serve as a useful data tool for NOAA Fisheries' management partners.
