When a vessel lands fish out of state that has been caught in Alaskan waters they are required to submit an out of state landing report, call in a Vessel Departure Report and Prior Notice of Landing to the ENF data techs, and complete a Washington state fish ticket.
ADFG Staff data enter these reports in the eLandings Agency Web.
Receive the out of state landing report emailed from Vernon Shoemaker - NMFS, this will be Allen Butner in the future.
Receive a corresponding fish ticket from Marjorie Morningstar from the WA Dept. of Fish and Wildlife.
It is very common for Washington tickets to be landed with pounds from multiple IFQ permit holders. We need to create multiple fish tickets if there were multiple IFQ permit holders on board. It is my understanding that the State of Alaska regulation requiring a unique CFEC permit for each IFQ permit holder does not apply to Washington deliveries. Historically, I have generated separate fish tickets using a unique preprinted fish ticket number that I created (using a standard agreed on by all agencies) in order to accurately assign poundage to the IFQ permit holder.
The ticket pounds are then split out based on what was reported for the IFQ permit holder on the out-of-state reports. eLandings Support staff or the data technicians can provide a copy of the IFQ report for comparison.
It is crucial to apply the statistical area %’s shown on the out of state reports to break out the pounds on the eLandings generated fish ticket.
A common mistake is to use the vessel owner as the permit holder. Compare the name reported with the Washington fish ticket to the NMFS Out-of-State Landings Reports and accurately reflects who made the IFQ Landings
