This year, the DFO requires electronic logbooks (ELOGs) for most Canadian Crab and Lobster fisheries.
Lobster and Crab ELOGS are now mandatory in most of Canada. This year, many harvesters will be using electronic logbooks for the first time. To make that transition easier for them, we’ll be on the road throughout PEI, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, Quebec, and New Brunswick, hosting In-Person ELOG Training Sessions to help new users get set up and started with ELOGS. If you’re interested in joining one of our training sessions, please visit our Events page and RSVP to the session of your choice.
Before we bring our training sessions to Tignish, Rustio, Charlottetown, and Souris in PEI, we’ll be at the Eastern Canadian Fisheries Expo in Yarmouth on January 17th and 18th. If you’re attending, be sure to drop by booth #328 to learn more about ELOGS, find out more about our in-person training sessions, and enter to win a great door prize!
