- Discard Methodology
Discard Methodology Review
In 2010, we developed a new methodology to estimate discards based on observer information. We are doing an evaluation of the methodology to consider modifications based on concerns raised by fishermen, stakeholders, and our staff.
The Center for Independent Experts (CIE) has obtained the services of two scientists who will conduct an independent peer review. We are pleased to announce the reviewers will be:
- Robin Cook, Ph.D., University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, Scotland
- Shijie Zhou, Ph.D., CSIRO Oceans & Atmosphere, Australia
