While I was searching for a rule requiring observers I did find a rule that specifies that the tanks must have water in them and the pumps must be running any time the nets are being brought in.

Cindy, if we will trust her, stated in a news interview that the agreement required that the boats testing the run composition were required to have observers onboard.

The "quick report" rule is also in effect for the buyers to prevent harvest over-runs.

Where's Mike G. or POS Clerk when we need them. They know the scoop on observers and catch reporting requirements.
