These charts were created to illustrate the spatial distribution of observed trips per statistical area per month. Each chart shows the number of trips for a specific program, gear type, and/or target species.

Each chart was developed using observer reported data in the OBSCON database. Data contained in OBSCON is a preliminary summary and may be subject to change once the observer has been debriefed and data are audited for accuracy.

All charts were created by the Northeast Fisheries Observer Program using the Mercator World projection and the WGS 1984 datum on March 28, 2005.
