The dealer management system (DMS) is a data warehouse that stores federal and state dealer permit and license information. The issuing agency, whether it is a state or federal agency, provides information on the seafood businesses, i.e., company name, mailing/physical address, telephone and license/permit number, to the Southeast Fisheries Science Center and these data are stored in the DMS. The system is developed to identify multiple records for the same dealer, i.e., dealers that have licenses or permits that are issued by different agencies. These separate dealer codes are linked such that the separate licenses/permits can be identified for the same dealer. Although the DMS was developed in 2004, the data in the warehouse begin in 1999.
