About Saltwater:

 

Saltwater is a small, Alaska-based business that specializes in recruiting and deploying biological observers groundfish, shellfish, marine mammal, etc.  Saltwater Inc. was established in 1988 and we have accrued extensive experience and a proven track record in the design and management of biological data collection programs.

 

What biological observers do?

While onboard fishing vessels, biologists identify fish species and collect and record data on the sex, length and quantity for species caught.  This fishery data is used by government agencies such as National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) to manage commercial fisheries.
