eLogbook
Currently the electronic logbook (eLogbook) in eLandings is available for trawl catcher/processor's (C/P's) and freezer longline catcher/processor's (C/P's). The eLogbook replaces the paper DCPL and is required for trawl C/P's in the AFA fleet or trawl C/P's that are fishing CDQ pollock in the Bering Sea in addition to catcher processors participating in the rockfish fishery. Daily logbook entries are submitted to NMFS just like daily production and landing reports.
In the event of an internet outage, online logbook forms can be downloaded from this page: https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/alaska/commercial-fishing/alaska-recordkeeping-and-reporting-logbook-logsheets
