I posted this to a few boards I've participated on and a colleague suggested I post here also...
The Mid-Atlantic Council will be holding two workshops (
http://www.mafmc.org/newsfeed/2018/f...ning-workshops) in February to help for-hire vessel operators prepare for upcoming electronic reporting requirements (
http://www.mafmc.org/for-hire-evtr/). Beginning March 12, 2018, all vessels with Federal charter or party permits for species managed by the Mid-Atlantic Council will be required to submit electronic vessel trip reports (eVTRs) while on trips carrying passengers for hire. The workshops will primarily focus on training for the SAFIS eTrips/mobile and eTrips Online systems. Participants will receive hands-on assistance with navigating the eTrips application, setting up favorites, and creating and editing trip reports. See the workshop announcement for complete details:
