National Observer Program FY 2006 Annual Report

In FY2006, NMFS observer programs continued to provide high quality biological information on the nation’s fisheries, data that are relied upon by the agency to manage the nation’s marine resources. Observer data are used in stock assessments, quota monitoring, and development of protected species bycatch reduction measures. These data will become increasingly important under the 2006 Magnuson-Stevens Conservation and Management Reauthorization Act (MSRA), which emphasizes the use of scientific data in the fisheries management process. 2007 NMFS (National Marine Fisheries Service) Library Public Domain 1864

2006财年，国家海洋渔业局（National Marine Fisheries Service，简称NMFS）的观察员计划持续为美国渔业提供高质量的生物学信息，该局以此类数据为依托开展本国海洋资源管理工作。观察员采集的数据可用于渔业资源评估、配额监测以及保护物种兼捕减缓措施的制定。根据2006年《马格努森-史蒂文斯养护与管理重新授权法案（Magnuson-Stevens Conservation and Management Reauthorization Act，MSRA）的实施，该法案强调在渔业管理全流程中采用科学数据，因此此类数据的重要性将愈发凸显。2007年，NMFS图书馆 公有领域1864号文献。
