Criteria for this disaster relief program:
1. Individuals must have owned a Puget Sound purse seine, gillnet, or reefnet license in 2007, during some portion of the period of potential sockeye fishing during 2007 in areas 7 and 7A (July 1-August 23).
2. License owner must not have waived their 2007 license prior to July 1, 2007.
3. License owner must have at least one sockeye salmon landing in 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, or 2006.
4. Catch history belongs to the individual owning the license at the time of the catch. License owners will not be allowed to claim another person’s catch unless it is included in a valid contract of sale. No two license owners can claim the same catch history. Within these restrictions, license owners who sold a license with sockeye catch history may be able to use that catch history in the following situations:
a. If a license owner sold a license with qualifying catch history prior to July 1, 2007, but purchased another license that provided the option to participate in the 2007 Fraser fishery (prior to August 23, 2007), their catch history from the license sold can be used in determining their eligibility for this program.
b. If a license owner owned multiple licenses during the base period, but sold one of those licenses prior to July 1, 2007, the catch history from the license sold can be used in determining eligibility for this program under the retained license. If the license owner had catch history on the license sold and on the license retained, either history can be used in determining eligibility, but they cannot be combined.
Please be sure WDFW has your correct mailing address.
