Juneau, Alaska 99802-1668

_____________________________________________________________________________________________
Currently the electronic logbook (eLogbook) in eLandings is only available for trawl catcher/processor's (C/P's). The
eLogbook replaces the paper DCPL and is required for trawl C/P's in the AFA fleet or trawl C/P's that are fishing CDQ
pollock in the Bering Sea. Daily logbook entries are submitted to NMFS just like daily production and landing reports.

In the event of an internet outage, online logbook forms can be downloaded at
http://www.alaskafisheries.noaa.gov/rr/log.htm

•

Please note that it is not a replacement for your eLogbook entry, just a placeholder until you can submit your
logbook information in eLandings.

• We advise you download this PDF form and save it to your computer.

recorded on your daily production report.

Making Edits
•

In the event you realize you made a mistake while performing data entry in the logbook pages,
you can easily go back to the specific entry and make changes.
NOTE: You cannot delete logbook entries; so if you accidentally added a catch entry or a
haul on the incorrect date, you will not be able to remove them!
You can account for the mistaken entry by adding a comment on the haul date explaining
what happened

•

For haul deployment edits simply locate the haul number on the main eLogbook page and click
on the text highlighted in blue

•

Any fields that allow you to change the data are editable

•

In order to edit your retrieval data you will need to be on the actual Haul Deploy Entry screen
and click on the Edit Retrieval button
