Fishing sectors were established in the Greater Atlantic region in 2010 under catch share management initiatives. Sector data kept at GARFO is mostly a collection of other fishing trip related datasets consolidated into a secure (password protected) web data portal used by sector managers. These datasets would include various trip reports, trip start and end hails, vms declarations, observer reports, etc. The data portal is called SIMM (Sector Information Management Module). There is one component of the data that is not derivative, and that is the sector comparison reports, which help a sector to compare data that they have submitted with data that GARFO has collected.
