Atlantic fishermen landing high-value species like swordfish, sharks and tuna would no longer have to file dockside paper reports detailing their catch to regulators under a NOAA Fisheries proposal that would shift data reporting into the digital age.

Under a proposed rule rolled out Thursday, NOAA officials said they would collect such information electronically through onboard electronic vessel trip reporting software, or eVTRs.
 

The rule, which could be adopted as soon as January in NOAA’s Greater Atlantic and Southeast regions, comes as the Biden administration seeks more efficient ways to collect and manage data from commercial and recreational fishermen plying U.S. waters.
