Data collection programs

The main data collection programs conducted by the Australian Fisheries Management Authority (AFMA) include:

• catch and effort logbooks;
• independent observers;
• catch disposal records;
• vessel monitoring systems; and
• prior reporting

These programs are managed and administered by various sections within AFMA. In addition to AFMA's data collection programs, various research agencies also conduct a number of independent data collection programs.
