The interagency electronic reporting
system (IERS) was implemented for use in the fisheries of the
Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) requires that eLandings, the data entry component of IERS,
be used as a single reporting system for commercial harvest and
production of groundfish (including rockfish), Pacific halibut, and
certain species of crab. eLandings allows processors and others to
make all three required landings reports with a single reporting
system to NMFS, the International Pacific Halibut Commission
(IPHC), and Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G). NMFS
collects groundfish harvest and production data for Fishery
Management Plan (FMP) species in the EEZ. ADF&G collects
harvest data for groundfish species taken in the State of Alaska
(State) waters, and has responsibility for some fisheries in the
EEZ, such as lingcod and black rockfish. ADF&G and NMFS
cooperatively manage the Crab Rationalization Program fisheries.
NMFS and IPHC cooperatively manage Individual Fishing Quota (IFQ)
Pacific halibut in both State waters and in the EEZ.
