These data are collected aboard federally permitted commercial fishing vessels, and the system allows for the collection of data to exceed regulatory requirements to address research needs, while simultaneously being submitted for Vessel Trip Reporting (VTR) purposes in order to satisfy federal reporting requirements. The VERS system was developed to facilitate the collection of haul-by-haul effort and catch data on board commercial fishing vessels, while simultaneously meeting federal vessel trip reporting (VTR) requirements. VERS requires the collection of all core VTR data elements, but also includes the ability to collect additional data elements which exceed VTR requirements and which may differ among research projects. completed Morin, Michael D 401-782-3278 401-782-3292 28 Tarzwell Drive Narragansett RI 02882 USA mike.morin@noaa.gov pointOfContact Morin, Michael D 401-782-3278 401-782-3292 28 Tarzwell Drive Narragansett RI 02882 USA mike.morin@noaa.gov custodian continual FLDRS VTR eVTR electronic reporting haul-by-haul research theme Mid-Atlantic New England Northeast Region place DOC/NOAA/NMFS/NEFSC > Northeast Fisheries Science Center, National Marine Fisheries Service, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 2017-04-24 publication 8.5 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2025.

Completeness Report All submissions and data edits must be attested to and digitally signed by a vessel operator or owner in order to meet eVTR requirements. Vessel data is collected electronically using the Fisheries Logbook Data Recording Software (FLDRS). At the completion of a trip, an encrypted data file is emailed to the NEFSC servers and loaded to the relevant databases.
