Data Portals
The following are data portals that support and enhance the Office of Science and Technology.
InPort
NMFS Enterprise Data Management Program. InPort is the centralized repository of documentation (metadata) for NMFS data and the tools to access the data, as required by the Data and Information Policy Directive and the Data Documentation Procedural Directive.
Species Information System(SIS) Public Portal | SIS Internal Login
Species information system supports the stock assessment program to collect and manage regional and national data across NOAA Fisheries program offices.
Enterprise Data Management
NMFS Enterprise Data Management (EDM) Program is an agency-wide program designed to improve NMFS data management by establishing policies and best practices for managing, sharing and integrating our information.
Commercial Fisheries Statistics
Fisheries One Stop Shop (FOSS)
Fisheries One Stop Shop supports Commercial Fisheries program bring together non-confidential data on commercial landings and recreational estimates from fisheries across the United States.
The NOAA Fisheries' "Fishery Market News" began operations in New York City on February 14, 1938. The primary function of this joint Federal/industry program is to provide accurate and unbiased reports depicting current conditions affecting the trade in fish and fishery products.
Commercial Landings & Trade Data
The Fisheries Statistics Programs of the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) has automated data summary programs that anyone can use to rapidly and easily summarize U.S. commercial fisheries landings & Data.
Annual Commercial landing Statistics
Foreign Trade - U.S Import of Shrimp
Foreign Trade - U.S Import of Frozen Blocks
Recreational Fisheries Statistics
MRIP Data Management and Standard (MDMS)
MRIP National Saltwater Angler Registry (NSAR)
The National Saltwater Angler Registry is the law. It is also an important tool to help better count fishermen and their catch. Become part of a network of fishermen helping to conserve our oceans and ensure the future of recreational fishing. By registering, you help NOAA make your catch count.
Recreational Web Queries
NOAA Fisheries maintains a searchable database of recreational saltwater fishing catch, effort, and participation data and statistics. Different types of queries are available to best meet your needs.
Recreational Data Request System
Fishery-Independent Survey
A fishery-independent survey is a systematic sampling project carried out by research vessels or contracted commercial fishing vessels for gathering biological or environmental information, primarily focused on commercial fish or protected species for stock assessments.
Fishery-Independent Survey System (FINSS)
FINSS is a national system that characterizes NMFS ocean observation activities and data collection during fishery-independent surveys, and provides up-to-date information to fishery scientists, managers and the public through digital mapping and tabular reporting applications.
Protected Species Incidental Takes (PSIT)
Technical Memorandum
NOAA Fisheries Science Centers and offices are responsible for publishing their own Technical Memoranda series and have made some available for download on various NOAA Fisheries web sites.
HMS International Dealer Permit
Effective July 1, 2005, all dealers importing, exporting, or re-exporting bluefin tuna, swordfish, southern bluefin tuna and frozen bigeye tuna must hold a Highly Migratory Species International Trade Permit (HMS ITP) and follow the required reporting procedures established at 50 C.F.R. 300.183 through 300.187.
Prescott Documents Search
The Prescott Stranding Grant Program is conducted by the Secretary of Commerce to provide grants or cooperative agreements for eligible stranding network participants for (1) recovery or treatment of marine mammals, (2) collection of data from living or dead stranded marine mammals for scientific research regarding marine mammal health and (3) for facilities operations costs that are directly related to these purposes.
