Dear License Holder,

A recent amendment to DMR’s Chapter 8 (Landings Program) regulations modified the reporting requirements of the scallop fishery to require those harvesters holding a commercial or non-commercial scallop license to submit weekly trip-level catch reports during the scallop season using an approved electronic reporting method. Reports are due by 11:59PM on Sunday each week.

Electronic reporting can be completed through either the VESL reporting application available for iOS and Android devices or Maine LEEDS. If you hold a federal scallop permit and are required to submit vessel trip reports, you can use the VESL reporting application or can continue to report using Fish Online or eTrips to fulfill your state and federal reporting obligations.

For questions regarding electronic reporting and reporting options, please contact the Landings Program at (207) 633-9500 option 2.

Thank you for your cooperation,

DMR Landings Program
