Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council & NOAA Fisheries Host For-Hire Reporting Requirement Workshops
New reporting requirements will be implemented for federally permitted charter and headboat vessels in the Gulf of Mexico this year. Vessels will have to hail-out before taking a trip; complete an electronical report for each trip before offloading fish; and have a device permanently affixed to each vessel that, at minimum, archives vessel position and transmits that information to NOAA Fisheries.
The Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council and NOAA Fisheries will be hosting workshops to inform for-hire operators about the new hail-out and electronic reporting requirements.
Meeting held on the following dates and locations will begin at 6 p.m. local time and should conclude by 8:00 p.m.
