Description

Abstract: The Shoreside Hake Observation Program (SHOP) was established in 1992 to provide information for tracking catch in the shoreside component of the directed Pacific hake (Merluccius productus) fishery and for evaluating conservation measures adopted to limit and monitor the catch of salmon, other groundfish, and prohibited species. Though instituted as an experimental monitoring program, it has been continued annually to account for all catch landed at shoreside processors by targeted hake trips, track potential discards, and accommodate the landing and disposal of non-sorted catch from these trips until permanent federal regulations can be developed. The SHOP is a cooperative effort between the fishing industry, state, and federal management agencies, with both industry and agency observers collecting and reporting data. Participants in the SHOP include mid-water trawlers carrying EFPs, designated shoreside processing plants in California, Oregon, and Washington, the Pacific Fishery Management Council (PFMC), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA Fisheries), the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission (PSMFC), the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW), the California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG), and the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW).
