SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The workshop will include a discussion of

completing and submitting required reports and logbooks using 
seaLandings.
    NMFS will provide a demonstration of the new version of seaLandings 
for at-sea catcher/processors and motherships, and training on how to 
submit daily production reports, and landing reports with and without

Islands Area require American Fisheries Act catcher/processors and any 
catcher/processor harvesting Community Development Quota pollock to use 
a NMFS approved electronic logbook in lieu of using the NMFS catcher/
processor trawl gear Daily Fishing Logbook. At this workshop, NMFS will 
provide a demonstration of the trawl catcher/processor electronic 
logbook in seaLandings.
