Notice to Fishing Vessel Owners and Operators
Most federally permitted commercial fisheries and New England For-Hire fisheries are required to submit all of their vessel trip reports electronically beginning November 10, 2021. This action does not apply to lobster-only permitted vessels, which currently have no mandatory reporting requirement. However, the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission has recommended and NOAA Fisheries is considering federal trip reporting requirements for Federal lobster-only vessels.
For more information, see the rule summary Educational and outreach material is available on our websites and shared through our social media outlets.
