The annual observer plan will be driven by other agencies and Ministry science, fisheries management and compliance requirements. The plan will be produced by 1 July 2003 and will clearly state: - priorities
- timeframes
- resource requirements
- performance measures
- the process for monitoring and reviewing the plan.

Not achieved | Demand for observer information (7,900+ sea days) was far in excess of the programme’s current capacity to deliver (about 6,000 days). To seek to reconcile competing demands, during the year the Ministry developed, along with the other client groups (Department of Conservation and the commercial fishing industry), a plan to match the demands for observer services against the capacity of the observer programme to deliver
. As part of a strategy to help bring demand and supply into line, multiple client requests were met on one observer trip, wherever possible. Outputs 24 and 25 were managed as one output. A total of 5,667 observer sea days were delivered across both outputs. |
