VMS forms Output Tables

Metadata Updated: November 10, 2023

These output tables contain parsed and format validated data from the various VMS forms that are sent from any given vessel, while at sea, from the VMS devices on their vessels. Forms included are:

Catch reports for Herring, Multispecies, Scallop, Mackerel/Squid.

Preland reports for Herring, Scallop, Mackerel.

Monk overage reports - vessels can indicate if they've caught more monkfish than a trip allows, permitted under current regulations.

Trip start and trip end hails for Sector trips, RSA/EFP trips.

Gulf of Maine Cod trip limit exemption.

It is the responsibility of the user to determine whether or not the data is suitable for the intended purpose.
Lineage	This dataset is generated with the following steps: 1. Vessel enters fishing activity data into whatever specific VMS form(s) that his fishing activities require by regulation, and sends. 2. Data is transmitted via a satellite network directly to one of several data repositories, depending on the VMS equipment that the vessel is using. 3. GARFO and OLE have processes which work together to pull data securely and regularly from these repositories (of which there are several) into raw data tables. 4. A VMS parsing engine managed by GARFO pulls from these raw tables, validates each form for format and a few other validation types, then inserts validated data into production output tables. 5. These output tables can then be displayed in Fishtank, Fish Online, or used by a variety of data analysis processes.
