OBSCAN Observer Scanning System

Description

Paper logs are the primary data collection tool used by observers of the Northeast Fisheries Observer Program deployed on commercial fishing vessels. After the data collected on the paper are entered into a database, the paper logs are scanned for each trip. After all trips for a calendar year are scanned, they are archived at the National Archives and Records Administration.
