Common use of Observer coverage Clause in Contracts

Observer coverage. The AIDCP mandates 100% coverage by observers of fishing trips by purse seiners of carrying capacity greater than 363 metric tons (t) in the Agreement Area. In 2009, the Ecuadorian program had a goal of sampling approximately one-third of the trips by its fleet, and the Colombian, European Union, Mexican, Nicaraguan, Panamanian, and Venezuelan programs each had a goal of sampling approximately half of the trips by their respective fleets. The IATTC program covered the remainder of the trips by these fleets, plus all trips by vessels of other fleets. During 2009, observers from the On-Board Observer Program departed on 731 fishing trips (Table 1), which included 12 trips by vessels of less than 363 tons capacity required to carry observers during clo- sure periods, as stipulated in item 4 of IATTC Resolution C-09-01. In addition, 65 vessels whose last trip of 2008 carried over into 2009 had observers aboard, bringing the total to 796 trips observed in 2009 by the Program. The Program covered vessels operating under the jurisdictions of Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru, Spain, the United States, Vanuatu, and Venezuela. In 2009 the Program sampled 100% of trips by large purse-seine vessels, as required by the AIDCP, and the IATTC program sampled 60% of all trips.
