Logbook 

What are my logbook requirements if using the DCPL?

If you are submitting daily production reports, you no longer need to complete the bottom section of the DCPL which includes products, discards, and cumulative catch. The header section of the logbook should still be filled out. You may still enter products and discards if you choose.

 How can I get an eLogbook?

The eLogbook is an application available within the seaLandings program. Users will need to register an eLogbook for the current year through their seaLandings application.

 What do I enter as my Trip start date? How do I show that I am inactive?

Your Trip start date should default to January 1st of the current year. You need to account for each day of the year in the eLogbook just as you did in the paper DCPL. You will also be asked for a Go Active date.

  • If you are just registering your eLogbook and steaming up to Alaska, enter your Go Active date as the registration date (1/1/20xx) and then Go Inactive until you begin fishing activity.

What if a haul starts at the end of the year and retrieval does not happen until the new year?

If you plan on fishing through the new year, you will want to do the following:

  • On January 1st, Register your 2022 logbook. Create a New Voyage, add your Gear Type(s), and Go active.
    • Add any haul/set deploy information that occurs on January 1st.
  • On January 1st, access your Previous Year Logbook and enter your retrieval informal for all hauls/sets deployed on or before December 31st.

What is the difference between editing a Trip and creating a New Trip?

  • Editing a Trip is to be used when there is some kind of data entry error made when first entering the information. An example would be a misspelled name or incorrect number of crew.
  • New Trips are triggered by a change in any of the following
    • New vessel operator

When should I Go Inactive?

So if the period of inactivity is less than 24 hours you do not want to Go Inactive.

I forgot to enter a set/haul on a previous day and have already entered sets to the following day. What are my options?

  • Then you can select Add Haul/Set.
  • The set/haul numbering will be out of order if you have added sets/hauls on the following day which is fine .

 How do I enter retrieval of a set/haul that is picked up on a different day than it was deployed?
