SEATTLE —Setline Survey Specialists (Field) came from across the globe for training at the IPHC HQ in Seattle, WA, this week. Nine specialists met with the HQ team to help prepare each other for a successful and safe 2025 Fishery Independent Setline Survey (FISS).
The FISS will begin this weekend with first hooks being deployed from the FV Vanisle in the Charlotte charter region (IPHC Regulatory Area 2B – Canada) on Sunday morning, 1 June 2025. Other vessels will begin work next week and into June/early July.
Please join us in wishing them a safe and productive FISS season.
