You are right about the black box tracking the movemrnt of the vessel.

BUT! BUT! ! ! The box does not track the speciecs of fish taken on board NOR does it track the amount of the by-catch.

They are allowed a % of by- catch which thy are allowed and in most cases exceed.

We discuss, just about every morning, at the coffee shop, the rules & regs of the commercial fishery and lobstering.

do you know that Whale Watch boats have observers on them once in a while also ??? And when they are on board a vessel, whale watch captains have a way to verbally notify others so that everybody plays by the rules for that day.

Also I ment to say indiscriminately.
