Description
The Fisheries Logbook System records the fishing and non-fishing activity of fishermen who are required to report their fishing activity via logbooks submitted for each trip. The Southeast Fisheries Science Center (SEFSC) manages two vessel logbook programs. This program principally covers vessels that use pelagic longline gear, but also includes vessels that use other types of gear (harpoon and handline) that target pelagic species in the highly migratory species fishery management plan. This logbook program was initiated in 1986, and has continued uninterrupted since then. Because the pelagic program supports assessments that require catch per unit effort data for individual sets, the design of this program focuses on data for individual sets.
Data Records
The data in this occurrence resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 451,827 records.
This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.
