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 2008, 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 five fleets, plus all trips by vessels of other fleets. During 2008, observers from the On-Board Observer Program departed on 780 fishing trips, which in- cluded 7 trips by one vessel of less than 363 t capacity that was required to carry an observer on all trips made while being investigated for a possible AIDCP infraction (Table 1). In addition, 52 vessels whose last trip of 2007 carried over into 2008 had observers aboard, bringing the total to 832 trips observed in 2008 by the Program. The Program covered vessels operating under the jurisdictions of Colombia, Ecua- dor, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru, Spain, the United States, Vanuatu, and Venezuela. In 2008 the Program sampled 100% of trips by large purse-seine vessels, as required by the AIDCP, and the IATTC program sampled 61% of all trips.
