immediately; (b) complete and submit a Short-tailed Albatross Recovery

within 72 hours after returning to port. When a STAL is brought on
board a vessel, the vessel operator must record the incident's date,
time, location, any tag data, and injury and health descriptions on the
Short-tailed Albatross Recovery Data Form.
