REQUEST FOR A LANDING LOCATION FOR
COMMERCIALLY PERMITTED REEF FISH VESSELS
Vessels with a federal commercial permit for reef fish in the Gulf of Mexico must notify the National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS) in advance of landing any federally managed reef fish species from the Gulf of Mexico at an approved
landing location. A landing location must be approved in advance to ensure the site exists and law enforcement agents can
access the site. Submit a proposed landing location using this form. A proposed landing location that meets the criteria below
will be approved only at the end of each calendar-year quarter. A landing location must have a street address or global
positioning system (GPS) coordinates for an identifiable geographic location if there is no street address on record. Use this
link to check the accuracy of your coordinates: https://mynasadata.larc.nasa.gov/latitudelongitude-finder/.
Send this completed form to National Marine Fisheries Service, Catch Share Support/SER29, 263 13th Avenue South,
St. Petersburg, FL 33701 or [email protected]
NMFS will evaluate proposed landing locations based on, but not limited to, the following criteria:
• Landing locations must be publicly accessible by land and water;
• Vehicles must have access to the site via public roads;
• Vessels must have access to the site via navigable waters;
• No other condition may impede free and immediate access to the site by an authorized law enforcement officer.
Examples of such conditions include, but are not limited to, a locked gate, fence, wall, or other barrier preventing
24-hour access to the site; a gated community entry point; a guard animal; a posted sign restricting access to the site;
or any other physical deterrent.
