Fishery observers are our eyes and ears on the water. They collect data from commercial fishing and processing vessels as well as from shore-side processing plants. These observers are professionally trained biological scientists who collect catch data dockside and onboard fishing vessels. These data are used for in-season management, stock assessments, and ecosystems studies.
We put in place rigorous quality control and quality assurance processes to ensure the data collected by observers the highest quality possible. Observers provide information on fish and wildlife, their habitats, human activities, and actions that may impact coastal and ocean ecosystems. Observers are the only independent data source for some types of at-sea information. This information includes marine mammals, sea birds, and sea turtle interactions with commercial fisheries, as well as bycatch composition and mortality.
Observer data provide unique and independent information collected at sea critical to the effective management of our marine resources. The data are used in various ways to support sustainable fisheries and recover protected species.
Observer data directly inform stock assessments to monitor the health of fisheries. Fisheries managers use observer data to set catch levels, maintain healthy fish populations, and rebuild overfished stocks.
Commercial fishery catch includes two components: kept catch and discarded catch. Kept catch is landed and sold, while discarded catch is thrown back into the ocean. Because some of the discards do not survive, NOAA Fisheries is working with fishermen and others to modify commercial fishing gear to reduce unwanted bycatch. When a gear modification is made, data collection is essential to make sure the modified gear is working as intended.
FishWatch provides up-to-date information and facts about U.S. seafood, so consumers and businesses can make informed decisions and be pointed toward sustainable choices. Observer data help assess the state of the fishery, determine impacts to habitats, and evaluate bycatch for FishWatch.
Due to their specialized training and equipment, observers offer a unique opportunity by collecting biological samples to support new research or fill data gaps. They help promote long-term sustainability of fishing ecosystems by working collaboratively with fishermen, scientists, and resource managers.
You must be able to work for extended periods of time at sea, sharing common facilities in close quarters. Observers must be able to lift and or drag heavy objects, climb ladders, tolerate stress, work long hours, and live in confined spaces.
You must hold a current certification for CPR and First Aid. You must successfully pass an observer certification course and receive a medical clearance from your doctor stating you are fit for sea duty.
To maintain anonymity we call ourselves Henrietta and Paco. We met in an elevator in Nashville, TN while both visiting for work [Henrietta was selling interior furnishings to the design trade and Paco was designing the set for a Bon Jovi music video]. Somehow, in the quick descent through all three floors of the hotel, we discovered our common passion for design and lust for wallcoverings. Our mutual dream of designing our very own wallpaper collection was soon realized. Many moons later, after a move to Los Angeles together [Venice Beach!], and a baby boy, Abnormals Anonymous was born.
We now live on Bainbridge Island in a small home, with our two young boys, Charley and Nash (yes, he was named after Nashville) our dog Willie and bearded dragon, Spike. You can find us boating, exploring the PNW, making cappuccinos, and going to all the soccer with our kiddos.
Our work is inspired by the wonder and awe in life's everyday moments. Infused with coastal, floral, fauna and experienced motifs, our designs reinvent elements of the everyday into dramatic and playful patterns. The designs begin their voyage to pattern form from hand-drawn art, vintage documents reimagined, and artist collaborations. Join us on a journey where the ordinary becomes extraordinary.
