The COAR reporting process has been incorporated into the eLandings System to provide more efficient and more accurate reporting. As fish tickets are required for the first purchase of seafood product, a summary of all purchases can be generated from the eLandings System for those processors using this system, fully and even partially. The summary is available for each unique operation, that is, each unique entity with a Fisheries Business license.
The eLandings / COAR reporting process allows industry to extract all buying activity, including custom processing performed for you as the owner of the product, by COAR areas of purchase. Once this information has been generated within the eLandings System, the designated seafood industry staff person shall add any non-eLandings fish ticket purchase information, ex-vessel pricing, and production information. The only production information generated from eLandings is from production reports, so only federally managed fisheries that required daily production reports are available to populate the production data. State managed fisheries, like salmon have no production data in eLandings. Post-season price adjustments can be added, when available. The COAR is now submitted electronically.

The eLandings COAR has not changed significantly . The only new information we collect is in the new eLandings HTML5 Processor Web. Progression through each COAR file status from "Not Generated" to "Submitted" are similar, with most of the steps moved to the hamburger menu of the COAR report page. Previous updates to the COAR file generation included collecting the Port code of delivery and this information is obtained from the eLandings Operation account. We have only also clarified the Area of Purchase, which was ambiguously defined in the past. The area of purchase is now defined as the area of harvest. Fish tickets document the area of harvest. When the eLandings System generates the buying section of the COAR, the area of harvest is based on reported statistical areas. The COAR area of processing is based on the processing plant port. For the At-Sea Fleet, the area of processing is based upon the area of harvest, the statistical areas when the product was caught.
