One of the ways NMFS gathers this information is through the Marine Mammal Observer Program. The program In Alaska, collects information on marine mammal interactions with commercial fisheries. This information is incorporated in assessments of the general status of marine mammal populations in Alaska. Obtain reliable estimates of incidental serious injury and mortality of marine mammals and seabirds, determine the reliability of reports submitted by vessel owners and operators, identify changes in fishing methods or technology that may increase or decrease incidental serious injury or mortality, collect biological samples to support and promote scientific studies, record data on by-catch and discard levels of all species. underDevelopment Mansfield, Bridget M 907.586.7642 907.586.7012 PO Box 21668 Juneau AK 99802-1668 USA bridget.mansfield@noaa.gov 8:00 - 4:30 Alaska Local Time phone or email pointOfContact Mansfield, Bridget M 907.586.7642 907.586.7012 PO Box 21668 Juneau AK 99802-1668 USA bridget.mansfield@noaa.gov 8:00 - 4:30 Alaska Local Time custodian asNeeded Protected species and marine mammals (NMFS Information Category 3.6); bycatch; commericial theme Alaska place DOC/NOAA/NMFS/AKRO > Alaska Regional Office, National Marine Fisheries Service, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 2017-04-24 publication 8.5 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2025.
