Collection of catch effort and biological data from the ocean recreational and commercial troll fisheries through angler interviews and examination of marine fish catches. On a daily basis, provide feedback and make judgements regarding sampling protocols and field procedures which directly affect the statistical validity of data used by ocean fishery managers to regulate the exploitation of ocean fish populations while promoting the conservation of fish populations through sustainable harvest of fish stocks which directly affect the economies, livelihoods, and unique culture of Washington\u2019s coastal communities. Port Samplers also record, summarize, and tabulate field data utilizing electronic devices, software programs, and paper forms; including daily synchronization of data collection devices to external databases, and the reporting of all data on forms error free and in a timely manner to fishery managers used for in-season quota management.
