The National Marine Fisheries Service is offering vessel owners a chance to avoid having to carry a fishery observer in 2014.
The agency plans to exempt up to 14 boats that agree to take part in a pilot project to test electronic monitoring systems.
More details in this letter.

hmm...here in the northeast we have vessels with the EM system, but they still have to carry observers....
