A Fishery Observer Liability Form Letter to be signed by the observer before the observer accesses the Fishing Vessel

August 21, 2020   National

Thanks for your help in fighting the observer redeployment issue. I have just put together a Liability letter that every boat should print out and have onboard and make any observer sign before stepping foot on their vessel. I, _____________,  in my capacity as a fishery observer, fully accept any and all legal consequences if in some way my actions and interactions cause the spread of the to the crew of the vessel in which I am deployed to. >Click to read, copy, reproduce, the letter, and have signed< Since NOAA and the observer companies are refusing to accept liability if any crewmen get sick from an observer, then we must put the onus on the observer himself. Thanks, Jim Lovgren 11:22

      James, Hopefully it doesn’t come to that, and NMFS comes to their senses, but I’m sure that legally they have no leg to stand on. thanks,Jim
