The objectives of this contract are to maintain the number and quality of observer training staff, and improve fisheries observer safety training through a 3-day Marine Safety Instructor Training (MSIT) refresher course. This refresher training is a continuation of the agency?s efforts towards standardization of observer training, generally, and observer safety training, as described in section 403(b) of the Magnuson-Stevens Act which directs the Secretary of Commerce, in cooperation with the states and the National Sea Grant College Program, to establish appropriate training programs for fishery observers and to ensure that they are competent to perform their mission. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) standards require that all observer safety trainers successfully complete a United States Coast Guard (USCG) approved MSIT course prior to conducting safety training.
