Checking In and Out Each Day
All volunteers participating in the Project need to “Check In” each day prior to launching their vessel or assisting at the collection sites. All boats/anglers must “Check Out” each day as well when they come off the water. This provides the coordinators a list of vessels and anglers participating in the program each day, allows WDFW to track volunteer hours, ensures that all anglers made it safely off the water, and provides the biological information on bycatch necessary to conduct this program.
Check in and check out each day by texting Todd Miller at (509) 619-2066, the WDFW volunteer coordinator. Check in can be completed by the captain for all anglers aboard the vessel or by individual anglers if arriving separately.
Check-In
Check in each day that you participate before launching your vessel.
Text message must include:
- the captains last name & boat #,
- anglers last names and/or assigned angler number,
Example:
Johnson, Boat #1. Anglers 1A, 1B, 1C
Check-Out
Complete as soon as you are off the water.
Text message must include:
- the captains last name & boat #,
- a list of the number of all fish released including mortalities, jacks, hatchery chinook, post spawn females, along with any other species caught and released.
Example:
Johnson, Boat #1. Released 2 hatchery adult, 6 spawned females, 1 oversize sturgeon, 1 wild steelhead.
*** Please remember to Check-In and Check-Out each day ***
