HMS General Category Cost and Earning Logbook
QuanTech is administering a logbook study to collect data on the revenue and cost structure of vessels participating in the Atlantic Tunas General category fishery. The study is needed to support economic analyses of impacts of future proposed regulatory changes that could impact Atlantic Tunas General category and Atlantic Highly Migratory Species (HMS) Charter/Headboat permit holders that participate in this fishery.
If you were selected to participate in the survey, reporting starts January 1st, 2018. You will be asked to report on all your commercial HMS fishing in calendar year 2018. In any month where you do not fish for HMS, a "No Fishing" report will be needed.
