Logbook Reconciliation Tool

This enhancement was created in the electronic dealer reporting application to automate the comparison of dealer reported data to vessel reported data in Atlantic HMS fisheries. In particular, this program matches dealer reports to vessel reports. These vessel reports are submitted by vessel operators and contain trip and set level details, such as gear used, date landed, vessel registration number, location of sets, and weight of different species offloaded from the vessel to different dealers. The dealer reports indicate the weight of each species purchased from vessel by a dealer on a trip level basis. The program compares the weights reported by dealers to the offload weights reported by the fishing vessels. The program then creates proxy records to record any missing weight that is reported by the fishing vessel but not reported in a matching dealer report. This program allows for the Agency to identify missing dealer reports, missing vessel reports, and account for any missing weights that were offloaded from a fishing vessel but not reported by a dealer. This ensures that the Agency accounts for all the landed weight of Atlantic sharks, swordfish, and bigeye, albacore, yellowfin, and skipjack tunas offloaded from US flagged fishing vessel for domestic quota monitoring.
