2012 Salmon Catch Reporting Program |
 |
ELECTRONIC HAIL PILOT |
In an effort to make the Salmon Catch Reporting Program more efficient for
fishers, Archipelago has been working with DFO to develop options for receiving
activity reports and catch reports from the salmon fleet. For the 2012 fishing
season we are continuing with a pilot program that allows fishers to send their
activity reports and catch reports by email as an alternative to phoning the
answering service to report.
-
This program is being developed with the idea that fishers can email activity
reports from home or vessel based computers and smart phone devices.
-
Email hails are one option, and the fishers who participate in the program will
still have access to the answering service for any issues that may arise.
-
Until a confirmation number has been received by the fisher and entered into
the logbook, the fisher will not be considered to have met their conditions of
licence.
Fishers who have registered their email address, logbook, and FIN number
for the email reporting pilot have been sent web-forms by email for their gear
type. These forms are also available through this site to make email hail
options more accessible through smart phone devices.

Important Notes
When you click the "Send Email" button on a form, the data on the form will be copied into a new
email message that is addressed to Archipelago Marine Research. You may
have to click the Send button in your email program in order to complete the process.
The Archipelago email system will forward the information to a DFO computer system that
will automatically check it for accuracy and then send you a confirmation
email. If you send your report between the hours of 05:00 and 21:30, you should
receive a reply within 30 minutes. If you send a message after 21:30 you may
not receive a reply until after 05:00 the following morning. You have
not complied with your catch reporting licence conditions until you receive a
confirmation number via email from the DFO. This number must
then be recorded in the appropriate space in your logbook.
In order to use these forms, you must first meet the following conditions:
- Your email address and vessel master FIN are
registered with your logbook number at Archipelago (call 1-877-280-3474 to do
this);
-
You are on a computer or mobile device with an email client program (e.g.
Outlook, Mac Mail) that is configured for an email address that is
registered with your logbook.
