Abstract: Vessels licensed under the High Sea Fishing Compliance Act are required to report their catch and effort when fishing on the high seas. Monthly negative reports are required if not fishing. These logbooks are not required if the vessel is already reporting catches and effort under other NOAA regulations. The information is needed for fishery management and to provide data to international organizations.
