NMFS issues an inseason adjustment to reduce certain observer coverage requirements for some catcher vessels and shoreside processors participating in the Western Alaska Community Development Quota (CDQ) fisheries. This action is necessary to increase the availability of experienced and trained observers to effectively manage the CDQ fisheries in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Area. It is intended to increase the flexibility of observer contractors in deploying CDQ observers and to decrease costs to the vessels and processors participating in the CDQ fisheries.
