Annually, the Agency randomly selects participants from among applicants. The Atlantic shark research fishery is a program with 100% observer coverage that collects fishing and biological data on all sharks, including sandbar sharks (a species prohibited from being landed and sold), for stock assessments and other scientific purposes. The database tracks applications for the shark research fishery. The shark research fishery provides an opportunity for research to be conducted on selected shark species to provide biological and other data as needed for stock assessments. underDevelopment Cooper, Peter peter.cooper@noaa.gov pointOfContact Ortiz, Delisse M 301-427-8503 301-713-1917 1315 East West Hwy Silver Spring MD 20910-3282 USA delisse.ortiz@noaa.gov custodian asNeeded Atlantic Ocean Caribbean Sea Gulf of America large coastal sharks sandbar sharks shark research fishery permits theme DOC/NOAA/NMFS/OSF > Office of Sustainable Fisheries, National Marine Fisheries Service, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 2017-04-24 publication 8.5 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2025.
