In 1992, the logbooks of three longline trips conducting an experiment to test the vertical longlining concept were submitted. With the implementation of the federal longline logbook program in 1996, logbook submissions resumed. The fishing occurs in the southern central Pacific (90 deg W - 170 deg E, 0 deg S - 45 deg S). Data on interactions with protected species are also collected. The Federal longline logbook program was implemented by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) in November 1990. Logbooks are filed by all operators of fishing vessels conducting longline fishing operations on the High Seas and within the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone in American Samoa, Guam, Hawaii, the Northern Mariana Islands, and U.S. possessions in the western Pacific and offloading in U.S. ports. In January 1996, in response to the developing longline fishery, a federal longline logbook system was implemented by National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). All longline fishermen are required to obtain a federal permit which requires them to submit logs containing detailed data on each of their sets and the resulting catch. Federally supplied books of numbered Longline Logbook Forms are issued by the Department of Marine and Wildlife Resource (DMWR) to all permitted longline vessels. The data are confidential and can only be presented in summarized form to the public. However, researchers with appropriate clearance can access the detailed data. underDevelopment Tomita, Ashley S (808)725-5693 1845 Wasp Blvd. Honolulu HI 96818 USA ashley.tomita@noaa.gov Contact via email pointOfContact Suter, Jenny M 1845 Wasp Blvd Honolulu HI 96818 USA jenny.suter@noaa.gov Contact via email custodian asNeeded FMB FRMD IFP PIFSC logbook longline pelagic species protected species interaction theme 1992 1996 - present Continuous temporal American Samoa Pacific Ocean place Oceanic stratum DOC/NOAA/NMFS/PIFSC > Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center, 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.
