Nil Report for Logbook - Licence Issued but not Fished
In the event that a licence is issued but not fished, the vessel owner/licence 
holder is responsible for submitting a Nil Report for the season. The Nil 
Report must be submitted prior to the issue of approval for licence renewal. 
One page from the logbook identifying the vessel, licence tab number, and the 
year with "Nil" entered in the body of the logbook and signed by the vessel 
owner/licence holder constitutes a Nil Report.
Nil reports should be submitted to the following address:
Fisheries and Oceans Canada
Shellfish Data Unit
Pacific Biological Station
3190 Hammond Bay Road
Nanaimo, BC V9T 6N7

Where a designated vessel is required, licence eligibility holders may submit 
the required information via the 'Submit a Request' menu selection within the 
National Online Licensing System (NOLS). Full instructions are available at: 
http://www.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/fm-gp/sdc-cps/products-produits/request-demande-eng.htm

To avoid delays, please ensure the payment, and designated vessel information 
is submitted to DFO at the same time.  

Upon the Department receiving the required payment, applicable documentation 
and information, the licence will be issued and notification will be sent via 
email to advise Licence Holders/vessel owners that a change has been made to 
the licence holder's online account.  The licence documents, licence conditions 
and receipt will be available to be printed at that time
