O & E - Contractual Reports to NMFS

Since program inception, 6-month progress reports (September to February; March to August) have been submitted to the Southeast Regional Office (SERO) of the National Marine Fisheries Service and are available upon request. Annual Reports were also historically submitted; however, beginning in 2014 preliminary analyses have been included in the 6-month progress reports with more in-depth analyses reserved for Final Reports, the next of which will span annual sampling between 2014 and 2018.
