For six years I worked as a fishery observer through a private company called Seawatch Incorporated, a subcontractor under DFO. My role was basically to go out on various fishing vessels, depending upon where I was assigned, and to go out on a trip or two on each boat, basically to see how much they were catching and where they were catching it, to make sure they were following the guidelines, and to take some samples. It was stuff like that.
