Table 4E. Number of observed gillnet trips and hauls, and percent observer coverage (defined as the ratio of gillnet landings (mt) observed to gillnet landings collected by the NCDMF trip ticket program), by seasonal management unit, year and water body (state-coastal habitat, federal-coastal habitat, and federal-offshore habitat). Highlighted rows indicate when and where a coastal bottlenose dolphin take was observed. Observed takes = '-' when there was no observer coverage.
