Inspection and Monitoring. (a) Trawlers and demersal longliners shall, at the request of the authorities of Sierra Leone, take on board an observer designated by these authorities in order to check catches made in Sierra Leone's fishing zone. They shall have all facilities necessary for the performance of these duties including access to places and documents. An observer must not be present for longer than the time required to fulfil his duties. Observers shall be provided with suitable food and accommodation while on board. Should a vessel with an observer of Sierra Leone on board leave Sierra Leone's fishing zone, every step will be taken to ensure that the observer returns to Sierra Leone as soon as possible, at the shipowner's expense. (b) All vessels shall allow on board, and assist in the accomplishment of their duties, any other official of Sierra Leone responsible for inspection and monitoring.
