The harpoon fishery targets swordfish and occasionally sharks. The fishery is managed by California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW). The data are owned by CDFW and managed jointly by CDFW and SWFSC. The data collected from California-based harpoon vessels are used by CDFW, NMFS, and the Pacific Fisheries Management Council to monitor and manage the harpoon fishery, to collect information used in stock assessments of species caught in this fishery, and to fulfill the reporting obligations of the Regional Fisheries Management Organizations (RFMOs).
