Scallop Framework 38 recently implemented 5-minute vessel monitoring system (VMS) reporting for scallop declared vessels seaward of the VMS Demarcation Line. NOAA Fisheries encourages vessels to contact their VMS provider to determine the best service plan to meet their needs. VMS provider contact information can be found on the Provider Directory Page.
The increased VMS reporting rate will not apply to vessels that are participating in state-waters scallop fisheries and excludes any scallop trip associated with the Scallop State Water Exemption Program. Please review the permit holder letters for other important 2024 fishing year updates.
