A proposed observer logbook for the 2015 krill trawl fishery

During 2013 the CCAMLR Scheme of International Scientific Observation (SISO) was subject to an external review by an expert review panel drawn from members (see SC-CAMLR-XXXII/07 Rev. 1). The panel recommended a number of changes to the SISO observer logbooks to remove obsolete data collection practices, and streamline the forms for ease of use by CCAMLR observers. This paper summarises the proposed changes made in the draft 2015 observer logbook for the krill trawl fishery and its accompanying instructions.
