The Northwest Atlantic is one of the most prolific marine environments in the world.  Keeping a close watch on the state of our ocean, fisheries and marine protected species is vital and part of our duty as ocean stewards. We are ready to assist the fishing industry, managers, and interested stakeholders in managing or setting up rigorous at-sea monitoring programs and to provide accurate marine biological data to our customers. 

As an approved provider EWTS has been supplying qualified, competent, and enthusiastic observers throughout New England and the Mid-Atlantic region since 2006.  Our observers are certified by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), and we provide them with a full compliment of data collection tools and the latest safety equipment. 
All EWTS Observers are well experienced and seasoned in dealing with the highly dynamic challenges that accompany the monitoring of the commercial fishing industry.

EWTS emphasizes safety as a number one priority. All of our fishery observers undergo Coast Guard approved Fishing Vessel Safety Training every two years. Training includes: How to avoid incidents that compromise safety, review of safety equipment operation and deployment (i.e. EPIRB, survival suits, life raft), in-water training exercises, identification of problems and solutions (i.e. vessel leak repair, etc) and much more. All at-sea personnel are also CPR/First Aide certified.
