Commercial Reporting
Stay compliant with Hawaii’s commercial fishing regulations by submitting your required reports online. It’s quick, secure, and easy.
Reporting Matters
Commercial Marine License and Commercial Marine Dealer License holders must comply with mandatory reporting requirements. It is important that these catch and sales reports are on-time and accurate as they contribute to both the short- and long-term resource management process. Information provided from these reports is invaluable to ensuring not only the health of marine resources, but also the prosperity and continuance of Hawaii’s commercial fisheries. Support informed, data-driven resource management by reporting.
Catch and sales reports contribute to:
- Stock assessments used to manage fisheries for sustainability
- Fisheries research, including testing new and emerging management tools
- Tracking economic value of commercial fisheries and food security benefits
- Recording of historic trends in commercial fishery activity including socioeconomic changes over time
