Actual practice table 3 at 90% compliance is where those numbers originate. The key is the numbers are off 90% compliance with the rules and add the 3% drop out to the numbers. Read the section on on-board observers and Willapa had .71% per boat trip. That does not appear to have pasted muster with the ISFP so what WDF&W does to get the observer per boat ratio up is going to be interesting to watch.
From ISFP: "To the ISFP, observer presence as implemented in past years is likely not sufficient to affect compliance rate for Fish Friendly techniques by the fishing fleet. "
