Dungeness Crab Biweekly Reports

Vessels participating in the California commercial Dungeness crab fishery are required to submit Bi-weekly Fishing Activity Reports to CDFW on or before the 1st and 16th of each month. Each report covers the previous two weeks of fishing activity. Bi-weekly reports are required from the time a vessel begins fishing up until the vessel has concluded fishing each season (CCR, T14, §132.8(g)(1)). Reports may be directly emailed or texted to WhaleSafeFisheries@wildlife.ca.gov. Alternatively, you may use the form provided below to submit a Fishing Activity Report to WhaleSafeFisheries@wildlife.ca.gov.
