The Injury & Safety Report is a mandatory post trip legal document observers fill out to report any injuries they have incurred, illnesses they have had, or safety compromising situations such as no wheel watches they have encountered on an observed trip.

The Incident Report is a mandatory post trip legal document observers fill out to report any enforcement related situations they have encountered on an observed trip that get passed on the NOAA Office of Law Enforcement or the United States Coast Guard. These can include harassment, interference, rule infraction, MARPOL violations or other.

The Post-Cruise Questionnaire is a mandatory post trip legal document that observers fill out after every trip they have completed.

The Vessel Arrival Info is a spreadsheet that gets filled out during the initial stage of the debriefing process by the debriefer. It contains vessel name, trip number, trip dates, number of sets, set number, set date and logbook page number per set. The completed Vessel Arrival Info is emailed to the logbook group at the Pacific Islands Science Center.

The American Samoa Longline Trip Log is an annual Excel spreadsheet to record trip information about observed longline trips. This trip information includes the trip number, vessel name, vessel documentation number, operator name, observer name, departure date, departure port, arrival date, arrival port, days at sea and trip type.

The Hawaii Longline Trip Log is an annual Excel spreadsheet to record trip information about observed longline trips. This trip information includes the trip number, vessel name, vessel documentation number, operator name, observer name, departure date, departure port, arrival date, arrival port, days at sea and trip type.

This data system contains the logbook data of vessels unloading in American Samoa. In 1992, the logbooks of three longline trips conducting an experiment to test the vertical longlining concept were submitted. With the implementation of the federal longline logbook program in 1996, logbook submissions resumed. The fishing occurs in the southern central Pacific (90 deg W - 170 deg E, 0 deg S - 45 deg S). Data on interactions with protected species are also collected.

These data were collected as part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric’s (NOAA) DWH Lessons Learned Studies: Detection of Oil Thickness and Emulsion Mixtures using RS Platforms study on methods to estimate oil slick coverage and thickness. The Team developed methods for synoptic collection of satellite imagery, airborne imagery, surface oil characterization, oil and water chemistry, and subsurface oil slick data at both the Oil and Hazardous Materials Simulated Environmental Test Tank (Ohmsett) and the Mississippi Canyon lease block #20 (MC20), which has an ongoing chronic oil discharge. Data shown here in NOAA’s Environmental Response Management Applications (ERMA) are part of the MC20 field research undertaken in 2016, 2017, and 2018. This research was primarily funded by the U.S. Department of the Interior, the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE), and the Oil Spill Preparedness Division through Interagency Agreement E16PG00023 with the U.S. Department of Commerce, NOAA.
