We monitor through a variety of mechanisms. We have both the at-sea observers, who are observing the landings as they come aboard the vessel, and dockside monitors, who are watching the transit of the landings back to shore. We use electronic logbooks in some instances and paper logbooks in others, where we ask fishers to record their catch, the location of their catch, gear type, etc. and provide that information back to the department so that we can review it. Our conservation protection officers are also out doing direct enforcement and direct engagement with harvesters.
