Abstract:
The Interagency Electronic Reporting System (IERS) is the result of a partnership between NMFS, Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G), and International Pacific Halibut Commission (IPHC). IERS minimizes the burden and maximizes the utility of fisheries information created, collected, maintained, used, disseminated, and retained. This action requires that the operator of a catcher/processor placed in the partial observer coverage category submit a catcher/processor landing report, a new reporting requirement. The landing report would be generated through eLandings by consolidating the daily production reports for the period the vessel operator defines as the fishing trip for purposes of observer coverage.
