Fishermen may opt-in to receive fishery bulletins geographically specific to them
Key Message:
NOAA Fisheries' Southeast Regional Office continues to look for and offer ways to communicate news and updates related to the Southeast For-Hire Electronic Reporting program. Fishermen may now sign up for three new fishery bulletins specific to where they fish. These bulletins are designed for this program and all Southeast federal for-hire/charter boat permit holders. They will contain important information not covered in the other bulletins you may already be receiving.
More Information on How to Sign-Up:
Once you are on the sign up page follow these directions:
NOAA Fisheries implemented the Southeast For-Hire Electronic Reporting program in January 2021. This program is expected to provide more timely catch, effort, and discard information from federally-permitted for-hire vessels, be used in future fish population assessments, and inform management decisions.
