eTrips/mobile 2 Evaluation vs CDFW Gillnets eLog EVAL

eTrips/mobile 2 Evaluation is the second generation of the SAFIS eTrips/mobile application. eTrips/mobile 2 supports catch and effort tracking and electronic trip reporting for For-Hire and Commercial fishermen in the member states of the ACCSP. eTrips/mobile 2 Evaluation is a special release of eTrips/mobile 2 which allows users to test the functionality of the application against test data in ACCSP's data warehouse, without actually making submissions of trip data. eTrips/mobile 2 Evaluation uses your device's GPS facilities to track your location. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

The CDFW Gill Nets eLog Mobile Application is being piloted by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) to evaluate electronic reporting for California's commercial Gill Net fishery. This application allows participating gillnet fishermen to record required fishing activity and submit trip information electronically using a mobile device. The evaluation is intended to gather feedback from industry participants, improve workflows, and ensure the application meets the operational needs of the fleet. The application has been developed in collaboration with commercial fishermen and CDFW staff to simplify reporting while maintaining the information required for fisheries management.
