Summary

Abstract

FVTR sub-trip information. Federally permitted vessels are required to complete a VTR page for each fishing gear used and each statistical area fished. The PAGE constitutes an IMAGE record.

Description

FVTR sub-trip information. Level 2 in hierarchial data model that contains information about fishing location and gear used. Linked to the Document Table with the DOCID attribute and to the Catch Table with the IMGID attribute.

Time Frame 1
2010-05-01 - Present

Weekly reporting began for vessels issued Federal Northeast Multispecies permits.

Time Frame 2
2011-06-30 - Present

Vessels participating in the multispecies catch share program or in the cooperative reseach program may use Fisheries Logbook Data Recording Software (FLDRS) to submit electronic VTRs

Time Frame 3
2011-09-28 - Present

Weekly reporting began for vessels issued Federal Northeast Atlantic Herring permits.

Time Frame 4
1978 - Present

Beginning in 1978, participation in the surf clam fishery became conditional upon a set of requirements including detailed logbook reporting. In the early 1980's ocean quahog vessels became subject to the same detailed logbook reporting requirements.

Time Frame 5
1994 - Present

The FVTR data collection program was implemented in 1994, to monitor the geographic distribution of fishing effort and catches of federally regulated species in the region. All Northeast Region federally permitted vessels must submit a VTR for each trip taken regardless of where the trip took place or species targeted. The one exception to this is for vessels that are only permitted for American Lobster. Beginning May 1, 2010, any vessel issued a Federal Northeast Multispecies or Atlantic Herring permit must submit VTRs on a weekly basis. Weekly reports are due by midnight Tuesday for all trips taken during the previous week. All other vessels must submit their VTR?s on a monthly basis. Monthly reports are due by the 15th day of the month following the month in which the trip occurred.

Description:

The FVTR data collection program was implemented in 1994, to monitor the geographic distribution of fishing effort and catches of federally regulated species in the region. All Northeast Region federally permitted vessels must submit a VTR for each trip taken regardless of where the trip took place or species targeted. The one exception to this is for vessels that are only permitted for American Lobster. Beginning May 1, 2010, any vessel issued a Federal Northeast Multispecies or Atlantic Herring permit must submit VTRs on a weekly basis. Weekly reports are due by midnight Tuesday for all trips taken during the previous week. All other vessels must submit their VTR?s on a monthly basis. Monthly reports are due by the 15th day of the month following the month in which the trip occurred.

Access Information

Security Class: Confidential
Security Classification System:

Vessel trip reports are considered to be business confidential and may not be released without signed approval of the permit holder on record for the time period requested.
Data Access Policy:

Access to VTR data is governed by 50CFR600 - Confidentiality of Information. Access by state fishery management agency staff and Fisheries Management Council staff may be allowed through Memorandum of Understanding that are signed by the NE Regional Administrator and Directors of the State Agency or Councils that describe the need and uses of the data and list the individuals who will have access to the data. Contractors may be granted access provided they are working under contract to NOAA or a cooperating partner (state, Council, Commission) on a specific project under the oversight of a partner.

Contact POC to request access.
Data Access Constraints:

Data Use Constraints:

Access to individual reports is restricted to NOAA employees and our partners who have signed non-disclosure agreements. Summary data may be made available based on the "rule of 3", i.e., there must be at least three entities included in a summary for the summary information to be made publically available. Data may be made available if there is no information included that could uniquely link the information to an individual entity (person, vessel operating unit, business, etc.).
