Request for Research Fishing Charter

Posted: May 2nd, 2012 | Author: Sha | Filed under: Community Window

The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) will be doing a nearshore survey in late August-early September in the Nelson Lagoon-Port Moller area. We would like to charter a drift-gillnet boat or other small vessel to do this work.

The survey will sample fish and habitat in depths shallower than about 15 fathoms using small bottom trawls and other gear, and may also involve beach seining. This gear has been used on 32 to 45 footers in the past and they are ideal boats for this type of work.

The timing of the survey is ideal for you to make some extra money after the salmon season is over. Please contact Dr. Thomas Hurst for more information and bidding. (541) 867-0222 Fax: (541) 8 67-0136 Email: thomas [dot] hurst [at] noaa [dot] gov Address: 2030 South Marine Science Drive Newport, OR 97365
