for a regulatory area. State landing systems normally gather the data 
at the time of landing. If unsafe weather conditions or mechanical 
problems prevent compliance with landing requirements, fishermen need 
an alternative to allow for a safe response. Fishermen would be exempt 
from landing requirements if the appropriate notifications are made to 
provide the name of the vessel, the port where delivery will be made, 
the approximate amount of salmon (by species) on board, and the 
estimated time of arrival.
