West Coast Commercial Fishing Permits for Groundfish

Are you looking to expand your West Coast Commercial fishing business? Have you been looking for West Coast commercial fishing permits for many different kinds of fish but aren’t sure where to look? We built the Commercial Fishing Permits Center so that commercial fishing professionals like you could spend less time filling out permits and more time out there making money. To that end, we have all of the forms that you might need, all in a format that you can easily fill out from just about anywhere.

The Sheer Amount of Groundfish
Over the years, we’ve found that many experienced commercial fishing professionals, even those who have been in or around the business for most of their lives, aren’t fully aware of just how many West Coast groundfish there are. According to the authorities, there are more than 90 different types of groundfish on the West Coast alone. That includes sharks, rockfish, flatfish, skates, and roundfish. These even include plenty of species most know, like Yelloweye Rockfish, Shortspine Thornyhead, Sablefish, Pacific Whiting, Petrale Sole, Lingcod, Pacific Code, Arrowtooth Flounder, and more. Really, we probably should’ve just listed the species off the West Coast that aren’t groundfish.

All of Our West Coast Commercial Fishing Permits for Groundfish
For years, we’ve told commercial fishing professionals “if you’re looking for commercial fishing permits, our site is the right place.” That’s especially true when it comes to permits for West Coast groundfish. As of this writing, we offer permits for “Groundfish Individual Fishing quota Vessel Account Registration,” “Groundfish Trawl Rationalization Ownership Interest,” Groundfish Mothership Cooperative Permit,” “Groundfish Observer Catch Monitor Provider Permit,” “Groundfish Sablefish Ownership Interest,” and “Groundfish Limited Entry Change of Ownership Vessel Registration.” Simply put, if it’s a permit dealing with groundfish on the West Coast, you can find it at our site.

The Lowdown on Renewal
Each of the above forms are different in many important ways. If you have any questions about your eligibility for any of these forms, or could use assistance in figuring out which forms are right for you, we’re more than glad to help. That said, while these forms are different, one thing they do have in common: they need to be renewed. In fact, for the most part, they need to be renewed annually. If you go through our site, however, you have the option of renewing them for up to five years in advance. Having even one less thing to worry about can be a great boon.

A Better Way Forward for Commercial Fishing Professionals
We know that when you go to fill out your commercial fishing permits, you just want to get it done as quickly as possible. That’s why we’ve made it so that you can fill out these forms from anywhere with an internet connection.

West Coast Federal Commercial Fishing for Highly Migratory Species

Before you head out to fish, you make sure you have everything you need. That means the equipment is all set, the crew is ready, as are your vessels, and so forth. Everything is in its place, so that when the time comes, you can just get out there and do it. The same applies to your commercial fishing permits, too. Just as you wouldn’t head out on the water without a working engine, you would not want to set out on the water without the right permits. At our site, you can find the right West Coast federal commercial fishing permits for “highly migratory species” and much more.

What Species This Permit Covers and Where it Does So
The “highly migratory species” in the Pacific Ocean that this fishing permits covers are sharks, swordfish, tunas, and billfish. As you might imagine, that’s quite a lot of commercial fishing right there. So, as it can be so lucrative, you don’t want anything to get in the way of making money – hence, these permits. With this permit, you’ll be able to fish those species in the West Coast Exclusive Economic Zone. So, it’s roughly 200 nautical miles off of the coasts of Washington, Oregon, and California. That’s a lot of area and a lot of fish. There’s a reason this is among our more popular forms.

Permit Facts
Should you get this permit, you have to have it on board the vessel. A picture of it on your phone or a copy of it, that kind of thing, will not keep you in compliance. If an authorized officer asks to inspect it, they have to be able to do so. The only exception to this is if the permit was issued while you were already at sea. This may happen more often than you think, particularly as our site is mobile optimized. That means our customers are able to apply for these forms from just about anywhere. That said, you will need to have a physical copy when you go back out on any later tip.

Renewing These West Coast Federal Commercial Fishing Permits
These forms are valid for two years. While that can be a long time, it’s also long enough for many vessel owners to forget about renewing them. That can lead to any number of problems as you might imagine. As one more way to help commercial vessel owners, we’ve made it so that we can renew your forms for you years in advance. So, when you first get this form through us, you’ll be able to renew it for up to two, three, four, and even five years in the future. It’s one more way to protect your business.

All the Permits You’ll Need
This is just one of the many commercial fishing permits we offer for the west coast. In fact, we have plenty of permits for fishing in the Pacific islands, the Atlantic Ocean, and just about anywhere else. To find all of the permits that you’ll need, head to our site. To talk to a representative, you can call us at (866) 292-4204 or send us an email on our site.

Alaska Commercial Fishing Permits Chinook Salmon

Are you looking to get into fishing Chinook Salmon commercially in Alaska? Have you reached the point where just about everything is in order, and all you need are the right Alaska commercial fishing permits? We know that acquiring the right permits for the Alaskan region isn’t always easy. That’s why we created a site for professional fisherpeople such as yourselves. Here, you can get all of the permits you need to fish what you want to fish, in and around Alaska as well as beyond.

Alaska Commercial Fishing Permits
There are big Pacific salmon and then there are Chinook salmon. These are the absolute, on average, biggest of Pacific salmon. For the most part, their weight exceeds thirty pounds and they measure more than three feet in length. Chinook salmon tend to make their way into the ocean, but they don’t all do it one year. “Ocean-type Chinook salmon” do so in their first year, but “Stream-types” spend an entire year in freshwater before heading out to the ocean. Regardless of when they get there, you’ll be able to fish them with the right permit.

Why You Need This Permit
The Alaskan fishing authorities had been looking for a way to minimize chum salmon and Chinook bycatch in the Bering Sea pollock fisher as much as possible. However, they also wanted to make sure that it was possible to have a full harvest of pollock total allowable catch, all while staying within the limits of prohibited species catch. These permits allow you to legally fish for Chinook salmon in Alaska without worry.

How We Can Help
Simply put, we make it easy to fill out the forms you need to fill out. You can find them all right at our site. Just click on “Alaska,” then scroll down to “Alaska Chinook Salmon Bycatch Efish.” From there, pick the right form for your needs. It could be the “Groundfish/Halibut CDQ and Prohibited Species Quota (PSQ) Transfer Request,” or alternatively it could be the “Application for Transfer of Bering Sea Chinook Salmon PSC Allocations.” If you didn’t already know, when it comes to commercial fishing permits in Alaska, the details matter. Should you have any questions about these forms, it’s best to reach out to us. We can walk you through your situation, to figure out exactly which forms are right for you right now.

Multiple Alaska Commercial Fishing Permits
If you clicked on “Alaska” at our site, then you probably saw that we have far, far more Alaskan fishing permits than just those for Chinook salmon. While fishing Chinook salmon is a great way to make a living, if you’re like many commercial fishing professionals, at one point or another, it could be time for a change. Should that be the case, you’ll be able to find all of the other forms that you might need for your business at our site as well. If you have questions about Chinook salmon fishing or anything else, don’t hesitate to reach out to us at (866) 292-4204 or send us an email on our site.

Commercial Fishing Permit for Coastal Pelagic Species and More

Have you been searching for a way to fish for Coastal Pelagic Species commercially? Do you want to fish using purse seine gear on the West Coast and want to be in compliance with the authorities? For as much time, effort, and money you put into your fishing, it only makes sense to do everything you can to get the right permits and documentation. Really, it’s a question of protecting your investment. Here at our commercial fishing permit center, we can help you to get all of the fishing permits you need for the West Coast and elsewhere.

Commercial Fishing Permit Center
Put simply, you need this permit if you’re to fish with purse seine gear (for either fishing or landing) Coastal Pelagic Species. Specifically, you need this permit if you’re going to do that in the limited entry fishery in the Limited Entry Zone. So, if you’re headed in there for those fish, and you’re going to fish using a large wall of netting around an entire school of fish or area, then you’re going to need this permit.

Some Eligibility Factors to Keep in Mind
You can only get this permit if you’re eligible to own a documented vessel. So, as you probably know, you have to be a United States citizen to own a documented vessel. There are, of course, some exceptions, but that’s the simplest path towards being eligible. We understand that, in the commercial fishing industry, things can happen. So, it is possible to transfer this permit from one vessel to another. Specifically, you can do that if the vessel without a permit has a capacity that’s at least “comparable” to the capacity of the permitted vessel. Additionally, you can transfer if the vessel that doesn’t have the permit actually has a less than comparable capacity.

About Coastal Pelagic Species and More
From speaking to some vessel owners, not all are aware of just how many different kinds of species come under the heading of “Coastal Pelagic Species.” For example, that includes market squid, northern anchovy, krill, Pacific sardines and jack mackerel as well as Pacific mackerel. Among the many reasons for these permits is that these species have to be carefully managed, as they are a crucial food source for birds, mammals, other fish, and much more.

A Commercial Fishing Permit for Your Commercial Fishing Business
As you can see from reading this blog, this kind of fishing is tightly regulated. There are many rules, some of which can seem opaque or even contradictory at times. That’s where we can help. If you go to our site, you’ll find all of the forms that you need to fish throughout the West Coast and beyond, for Coastal Pelagic Species and much more. Additionally, should you need any help with any of these forms, our staff is more than happy to be of assistance.

Alaska Federal Fishing Permit: What You Need to Know

Do you want to expand your fishing business into Alaska, but aren’t sure what the permit specifications are? Have you gotten to the point where you want to get your fishing business in Alaska off the ground and want to be in compliance? The next step may be to get an Alaska federal fishing permit. As you might imagine, there are some rigid requirements to these. This could be just the permit you need to take your business where you want to go. Or, alternatively, it might be another permit that allows you to fish the way you want to fish. As ever, we can help.

Alaska Federal Fishing Permit Explained
If you want to fish the Bering Sea, Aleutian Islands, or the Gulf of Alaska for groundfish, then you have to get this permit, period. However, there are others who could use this permit, too. For example, if your vessel is required to retain any bycatch of groundfish and you use it to fish for any non-groundfish species, then you will also have to get this permit. Speaking of groundfish, if you operate a shoreside processor that processes and/or receives groundfish that are harvested from Federal waters, then you’ll also want to make sure that you have this permit.

The Species You Can Fish With this
As you might imagine, this particular form of documentation covers many different kinds of species. In a general sense, this fishing permit is for those who are fishing Sockeye Salmon, Sablefish, Coho Salmon and Chum Salmon as well as Chinook Salmon. Many who fish Pacific Herring and Pacific Halibut also find that they need this particular permit, too. Of course, if you’re fishing Alaska Groundfish, it’s good to either get this permit or to talk to the professionals as to whether or not it’s a good idea.

Who This Permit is For
As of this writing, the vessels have to be designated on the licenses. We say “as of this writing” because the laws can change in regards to this. Additionally, you probably want to look into this permit if you own stationary floating processors that operate entirely within the state waters of Alaska. As with all forms of permits and documentation, it is better to be “safe” rather than “sorry.” This is why our experienced staff is happy to answer any questions you might have.

Fishing in and Around Alaska
There’s no getting around it: getting the right permit (or combinations of permits) for commercially fishing in Alaska can be difficult. At times, it can be downright confusing, particularly if you’ve never done it before. These are just some of the reasons that we work as hard as we can to simplify the process. Our site is mobile optimized, which means it opens on just about any kind of device from anywhere, so long as you have an internet connection. To speak to a member of our staff about these permits or others, just email us on our site or call (866) 292-4204.

Atlantic Commercial Fishing Permits to Stay in the Black with Atlantic Bluefish

Are you looking for the right Atlantic commercial fishing permits for your vessel? Have you been searching for a way to find the correct permits for fishing Atlantic Bluefish and other lucrative kinds of fish? The Atlantic has been fished for centuries if not longer. There’s still opportunity in those waves. However, to be able to do it legally, you need to have the right permits. That’s where we come in. We can help you to have the proper permits to allow you to catch all of the fish you want.

Atlantic Commercial Fishing Permits for Atlantic Bluefish
As you probably know, you’re going to need a permit to fish Atlantic Bluefish commercially. If you plan on catching them, transporting them, landing them, possessing them, or even selling and trading them, you’re going to need a permit. However, what some fishing professionals we’ve spoken to are sometimes surprised to hear, you will also need a permit if you’re going to fish them “recreationally” as well. For the purposes of this permit, that means you have a vessel that carries passengers for hire.

Who Can Get This Permit
Simply put, you can get this permit so long as you have a valid vessel operator’s permit. Now, the bluefish that are caught can only be told to someone who is in possession of a valid federal bluefish dealer permit. Additionally, you may want to check if it’s necessary for you to get what’s called a “Commercial Operator Permit.” These kinds of cards are necessary, should you be operating processor vessels, carrier vessels, and other forms of commercial vessels that have been issued a vessel permit for the Greater Atlantic Region and are fishing for it in possession of these fish. That’s also true if you’re operating a charter/party boat, too.

What to Know About Atlantic Bluefish
There’s a wide stretch of ocean in which you can find Atlantic Bluefish. From eastern Florida all the way up the eastern coast of the United States to Maine, you can find these fish. As of this writing, these fish have been classified as “significantly below target population levels.” However, the “Fishing Status” is also at the recommended level, so you will still be able to fish them. That said, there is an annual catch limit and the majority of the catch has been allocated, by the authorities, to the recreational fisheries.

Fishing Permits in the Atlantic and Beyond
You may have read the above paragraphs, from the eligibility requirements through the “annual catch limit” and thought: “this all feels like a lot.” That’s perfectly understandable. Regulation, whether it’s for your vessel, your fishing, or anything else, can be confusing. However, that’s where we can help. With our site, you can fill out the permits to catch Atlantic Bluefish (or just about anything else) anywhere you have an internet connection. If you’d like to talk to a member of our expert staff about this or anything else, you can reach us at (866) 292-4204 or send us an email.

In fact, they’re currently classified as “Above Target Population Levels,” so you’re welcome to go out and get them when the time is right. That said, there are limits. There are only so many of these permits available, so you want to take care of this fast. Moreover, there are limits in terms of both the season and per-trip, too. “Sooner beats later” in many facets of King Mackerel fishing, as reaching quotas causes areas or even seasons to close early.

King Mackerel South Atlantic Federal Commercial Fishing Permits Requirements
At our site, you can find permits for “King Mackerel Commercial Fishing Permit (Limited Access)” as well as the “Gill Net for King Mackerel Commercial Fishing Permit (Limited Access).” For both of these forms, you’re going to need a valid state registration or Coast Guard documentation.

How Renewal Works

But, with our site, we can actually renew for years into the future for you. Instead of having to do so by the end of your birth month every year, you can use our site to renew for up to five years in advance.

Pacific Island Federal Commercial Fishing Permits for In and Around Hawaii

You’ve gotten your Hawaiian commercial fishing operation “off the ground.” You got the vessels, you’ve got the equipment, you’ve got a committed and talented crew. With all of that taken care of, now it’s time to get into the details – the permits.

Fishing for Lobster and Deepwater Shrimp
You got into the commercial fishing business to make money. It’s no surprise that there’s plenty of it in fishing lobster and deepwater shrimp. At our site, you can find the forms that allow you to do exactly that. Better still, however, is that you can fish for these lobster and deepwater shrimp in more than just Hawaii. This “Western Pacific” permit will allow you to fish in the EEZ around Hawaii as well as Guam, American Samoa, the Northern Mariana Islands, and even in Pacific Remote Islands Areas. If there are lobster and deepwater shrimp around there, you’ll be able to fish them.

Pacific Island Federal Commercial Fishing Renewal
When your equipment gets worn down from use, you get new equipment. That’s part of the job. The same goes for your permits as well. For example, take the “Western Pacific Crustaceans Permit for Lobster or Deepwater Shrimp” permit we mentioned previously. That’s only valid for one year from the date of issuance. So, you have to renew it each year. That is, of course, unless you do it through us at the Commercial Fishing Permits Center. We’ve made it so that you can renew these forms for two, three, four, and even five years in advance. We see it as one more way that we can help commercial fishing professionals like yourselves.

Permits for Non-Commercial Fishing, Too
Say you want to fish for bottomfish management unit species around the main Hawaiian islands, but not to make money. You want to do it for recreation, for peace of mind, because it’s fun, that kind of thing. You need a permit for that as well. The “Main Hawaiian Islands Non-Commercial Bottomfish Permit” lets you do just that. Remember though, if you have a current Hawaii Commercial Marine License, or you’re a charter fishing customer, you won’t need this permit.

Beyond Pacific Island Federal Commercial Fishing
We understand that not everyone will be commercially fishing for lobster or deepwater shrimp in the Exclusive Economic Zone around Hawaii. Our site isn’t called the “Hawaiian Commercial Fishing Permits Center.” So, you can find fishing permits for all over the United States as well as its Exclusive Economic Zone. If you’re interested in fishing commercially for, well, just about anything, you can probably find the corresponding form at our site. Moreover, you’ll find it in a way that you can fill it out from just about anywhere, provided you have an internet connection. For more call (866) 292-4204 or send us an email on our site. 

The Facts About a Federal Fisheries Permit in Alaska

Have you been trying to get into the Alaskan commercial fishing business? Do you have all of your ships, equipment, and crew lined up, and all you’re lacking are the permits? We’ve got you covered. Here at the Commercial Fishing Permits Center, we’ve got the forms that you need to keep you in compliance when you go fishing in Alaska. That said, there are some things you want to keep in mind as you’re sitting down to apply for a federal fisheries permit.

The Basics

First and foremost, only U.S. citizens are authorized to both receive and hold these permits. There’s no “wiggle room” here, no space for interpretation. If you aren’t a U.S. citizen, then this isn’t going to work. Now, obviously, there are people who aren’t citizens by birth but eventually become citizens, and so forth. If there are any questions about that or anything else related to these forms or others, our staff is more than happy to answer them.

Vessels that Qualify for a Federal Fisheries Permit

Is this the first time that you’re seeking this kind of permit application for this vessel? For many of our customers, that’s the case. If so, then you need proof that you own the vessel. As you might imagine, for a majority of vessel owners that’s going to be their Certificate of Documentation (should the vessel be documented). An Abstract of Title will, of course, suffice as well. However, even if your vessel isn’t documented, you can still show proof of ownership. All it takes is a copy of your State of Alaska vessel registration or license.

Things to Keep in Mind

Fishing in Alaska is regulated for many reasons. As such, there are certain responsibilities that a permit holder needs to be aware of. For example, you are responsible to know whether your catch is deducted from the GHL (State Guideline Harvest Level) or the TAC (Federal Total Allowable Catch). While there’s a lot of legal jargon around this, to put it simply, make sure that you’re legally allowed to fish where you’re fishing, when you’re fishing it, and with what tools you’re using to fish. If you’re in violation of any of those, then you could potentially be in serious trouble.

Tactics Matter

Are you participating in direct fisheries for pollock, Atka mackerel, and/or Pacific cod? Additionally, are you doing so with any kind of gear other than jig gear? If that’s the case, then there’s a whole other section of the form that you have to fill out. Having said all of this we understand how confusing all of this can get, even for the most experienced commercial fishing professional. To that end, our staff is trained and ready to answer any questions. Many customers have called us in the past to ask just a question or two about a form. However, we can also go through the form with you and answer all your questions. For more: (866) 292-4204 or send us an email.

Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission

Alaska is made for commercial fishing. The sheer number of fish, in so many different species, makes it one of the best places to fish in not just America but the world. However, if you want to fish in Alaska, for the most part, you have to go through the Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission. That’s not always easy. They have a lot on their plate, so to speak, which means that the process could go slower than maybe you would like, for both you and your business. That’s why we offer a better way to get the documentation that you need.

Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission
If you’ve gone to their site or looked at it recently, the Commission’s site is not state of the art. That’s perfectly understandable; they have so much under their purview. We know that as a person in the commercial fishing industry, your time is precious and valuable. So, to make things easier, we’ve optimized our site for mobile devices. That means you can go through our site on practically any kind of phone, tablet, or more, so long as you have a connection to the internet. If you do, then you’ll be able to access and complete any of our Alaskan commercial fishing permits.

Document Processors
We’re willing to bet that you did not get into Alaskan commercial fishing because you enjoyed filling out forms. For so many folks in the commercial fishing industry, filling out permits is a chore at best. It’s perfectly understandable if you make a mistake here or there, a typo, a spelling error, something like that. Unfortunately, those are exactly the kinds of things that can get your forms returned to you without the documentation you want. So, we’ve hired the best document processors possible. These folks will look over your forms, find any errors (if there are any) and then fix them before they go on to the Entry Commission or any other governmental body. That way, you can spend even less time filling out forms.

More than Annual Renewal
For many commercial fishing permits (but not all of them) they need to be renewed year after year. Hopefully, you remember and get it done in time. However, you’re busy, you’re always on the go, and missing a deadline can happen. Instead of letting this have consequences for your business, you can use our service to renew them for many years in advance. Then, when the deadlines come, we’ll make sure that is taken care of for you.

Documentation Beyond the Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission
The above blog covers what you need to do to stay in compliance with commercial fishing in parts of Alaska. However, our site is called “Commercial Fishing Permits” and not “Commercial Fishing Permits Just for Alaska.” You can find permits at our site for fishing all throughout the United States and beyond. To see what we offer or talk one on one with a professional: (866) 292-4204.

Getting Started With Alaska Commercial Fishing Permits

Have you been looking to get your Alaska commercial fishing permits but don’t know where to start? Finding Alaskan fishing permits can be exhausting, but here at Commerical Fishing Permits Center, we can help. Fishing in Alaska is always great. For example, more than 50% of US federally managed fisher resources are harvested from waters off of Alaska. With the right permits, you can be in compliance with all the necessary regulations so that you can do what you want on the Alaskan waters.

An Easier Way to Access Alaska Commercial Fishing Permits

Even if you’re used to a certain number of permits for your vessel, Alaskan fishing permits can seem complicated. You can use our site to search for a variety of permits, including Alaskan Chinook Salmon Bycatch. Locate “Alaska Region,” on our website, then go to “Alaska Chinook Salmon Bycatch Efish,” and then that will give you three options. You may click on “Application for Approval as an Entity to Receive Transferable Chinook Salmon PSC Allocation,” “Groundfish / Halibut CDQ and Prohibited Species Quota (PSQ) Transfer Request,” or the “Application for Transfer of Bering Sea Chinook Salmon PSC Allocations.” As you can see, it can become quite wordy and jargon-filled quickly, so if you have any questions, we’re always glad to help.

Understanding Salmon Bycatch

“Bycatch,” is defined by the “Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act” as “fish that are harvested by a fisher but are not sold or kept for personal use.” Furthermore, “this includes the portion of the catch that is discarded back into the sea. This does not count as mortality due to a direct encounter with fishing gear that does not result in the capture of that species by a fisherman.”  People who fish do everything they can to catch the fish that they want. Of course, nothing is 100% effective. Therefore, some other fish are caught at the same time, and “Bycatch” is the word for the organisms they caught but didn’t mean to.

Fishing All Over the Alaskan Area

Here at Commercial Fishing Permits, we have all of the permits you need for essentially anywhere in Alaska. We do offer permits for other parts of the world besides Alaska, but we do have a large number of permits specifically for Alaska. If you have any questions about these forms, whether or not they apply to your vessel and what you want to catch, don’t hesitate to reach out to us. Our trained professionals will be glad to answer any questions that you might have through email or a call (866) 292-4204.  Good luck to you on the high seas!

Have you been looking for an easier way to manage your South Atlantic federal commercial fishing permits? Does it seem like whenever you go online to fill out these permits, it takes too long, or you can’t find the ones that you need? Those are just some of the reasons that we started our commercial fishing permits site. Here, you can find all of the permits you need for the South Atlantic and elsewhere. That way, you can be in compliance long before you set out on the water.

Rock Shrimp South Atlantic Federal Commercial Fishing Permits
 
Just reading the name “rock shrimp” can be enough to make your mouth water. These shrimp are highly prized for any number of reasons, not the least of which is because they’re large and delicious. We offer easy access to the permits you need to be able to commercially fish in the South Atlantic region. That’s important because it’s more or less the only place you’re going to be able to find them. From Florida to the Gulf of Mexico, Cuba, and the Bahamas, that’s basically the only place to find them. So, if you want to get into the rock shrimp game, this is the best (and only) ticket in town.

Smoothhound Shark Permits

With a name like a cartoon character, fishing the smoothhound shark can be profitable indeed. For one thing, these sharks have multiple uses. For example, their liver can be used for both fishmeal and for oil. By that same token, many of the fisherpeople that fish them are going for food, as they can be served frozen, dry-salted, smoked, or even fresh. While the smoothhound shark can be found in many places, one of the regions where they’re the most abundant is in the South Atlantic. With our permits in place, you can make real money fishing these sharks.

What to Keep in Mind

If you’ve been in commercial fishing at all, then you know that there are so many rules and exceptions that may seem like a small thing but are actually a big deal. For example, when it comes to getting your Smoothhound Shark Commercial Fishing Permit Open Access, you can’t have an HMS Caribbean Small Boat Commercial Fishing permit in conjunction. By that same token, if you get a Rock Shrimp Commercial Fishing Permit for the South Atlantic EEZ Limited Access, then you need a Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) and you also cannot have a Rock Shrimp Carolina Zone permit.

Permits for Commercial Fishing All Over
 
Those are just some of the permits we offer for the South Atlantic. If you are fishing other fish in that region, or you’re fishing in some other region, in all likelihood, we can help you out. As you’ve seen, there are stringent rules and regulations that go along with each of these permits. Should you have any questions about how any of them work, don’t hesitate to reach out to us at (866) 292-4204.

A Commercial Fishing Permit for Crab and More in Alaska

How It Works
There’s plenty of crab in the Bering Sea/Aleutian Islands. These fisheries are managed by the State of Alaska, NOAA Fisheries, and the North Pacific Fishery Management Council respectively. That management consists of setting the total allowable catches, establishing guideline harvest fisheries levels, as well as opening and closing the fishers themselves. This is all done, in part, to prevent overfishing, while rebuilding overfished fisheries and more. At our site, you can find the forms that you need to be in compliance with all of this.

Simply put, if you’re interested in fishing crab in Alaska, we’ve got your back.

What to Know About Federal Fishing Permits in the Atlantic Region

Fishing in the Greater Atlantic Region can be a great commercial opportunity for you and your business. To do it the right way, however, you need the right federal fishing permits. At our site, we have each of the permits you’ll need to collect the fish that you want. Our site was specifically designed for commercial fisherpeople like you in mind.

Federal Fishing Permits for Tuna

One of our most commonly used forms is the “Atlantic Tuna Longline Commercial Fishing Permit (Limited Access).” A quick look at the form and it’s easy to see why. After all, this is the form you need if you’re going to fish species like the Western Atlantic Bluefin Tuna, the Atlantic Skipjack Tuna, the Atlantic Yellowfin Tuna, the Atlantic Bigeye Tuna, or the North Atlantic Albacore tuna. Moreover, this form will cover fishing these vessels in a wide range of areas, like the Gulf of Mexico, the Mid-Atlantic, the South Atlantic, and the New England areas.

What to Keep In Mind About These Permits

It can be all too easy to think: “I’ll take care of this documentation later.” Or, alternatively, “I can put it off, who’s really going to check?” The answer to that question is: “The Office of Law Enforcement and the US Coast Guard.” The truth is that they do inspect vessels for valid permits. Moreover, they aren’t shy about doing so, either. The last thing any commercial fisherperson wants is to be stopped by the authorities and not have these forms. You want to take care of this documentation, and then you want to make sure you have the original permits on the vessel, in a location that is easily accessible.

Renewing When You Have To

Many of our commercial fishing permits are different. You want to make sure that you have the right permit for your specific needs. However, for the most part, the renewal deadline for these Atlantic forms will be on the last day of the permit holder’s birth month. So, if you’re the permit holder, and your birthday falls in February, then it will be on the 28th or 29th (depending on whether or not it’s a leap year).

All of the Permits You’ll Need

As you might imagine, it can be difficult for some commercial fishers to remember that these forms specifically have to be renewed by the last day of the month of their birthday. So, at our site, you can choose to have many of these forms renewed for years in advance. For the most part, you can have them renewed for up to five years in the future – thus giving you one less thing to worry about. Fishing the Atlantic can be a true life’s work, the sort of job that rewards you and yours as well as the community. For the permits you need, head to our site or call (866) 292-4204.
