Projects in the Field: EM in the CGOA Rockfish Program – The next step in monitoring modernization for Gulf of Alaska trawl catcher vessels
Gulf of Alaska (GOA) trawl fishermen have been strong proponents of using Electronic Monitoring (EM) to improve monitoring and data accountability in their fisheries and are now working to expand EM from the pelagic pollock fishery to the CGOA Rockfish Program (RP), where they use both pelagic and non-pelagic gear. As a short-duration, high-cost fishery with a 100% monitoring requirement, using EM and other technology to provide cost-effective monitoring and better PSC accounting has always been a goal for the trawl catcher vessels (CVs). In 2007 and 2008, Alaska Groundfish Data Bank (AGDB) received Exempted Fishing Permits (EFPs) to test the use of EM to quantify at-sea halibut discards in the RP. While the EFPs showed that EM was possible, limitations in the use of EM at the time meant it was not a cost-effective or feasible option to implement at scale. Fast forward more than fifteen years later, and the EM capacity of the GOA trawl fleet has grown substantially....
