Reporting lost gear – Where did you lose your gear?

Now we're on page two: “Where did you lose your gear?” [Presenter scrolls to tab two]

So the message here says: “Note you are reporting lost gear for one location only, regardless of the amount of gear lost. A location is defined by a single set of coordinates within a fishing area. If you wish to report lost gear for multiple locations, please submit an individual report for each set of coordinates.” Now the first field on this page the last date the gear was known to be at this location. You can select, you have a calendar here

[Presenter clicks on “Calendar” field]

you can move from left to right for the months

[Presenter moves the calendar months from left to right]

and you can also dropdown for the months here and the year, [Presenter selects the drop down list for the “Month” and “Year”]

but essentially it should be 2023 let's say it was on this date. [Presenter selects a fake date]

Next is the coordinates system. [Presenter selects the coordinate dropdown menu]

So by default we use the NAD83, but as you can see you have two other options here: WGS84 and the NAD27 If you don't select anything other than the NAD 83 it will remain this as it is the default. [Presenter selects a default coordinate]

Now for the coordinate format. As you can, see the decimal degrees is the preferred option and will be the first one that appears.

If you wish to use the degrees in its seconds

[Presenter selects a button containing the degrees in seconds. The screen display switches the coordinate format]

you simply have to click and the formatting will auto populate here same for the degrees, decimal minutes. You click here,

[Presenter selects the degree in decimal minutes and the screen display switches to decimal minute format]

you'll see the fields that correspond to the decimal minutes. For example, I'll just click on the decimal degrees,

[Presenter selects the decimal degrees and the screen switches back to decimal degree format]

and we'll enter the coordinates. And when I enter the coordinates, [Presenter selects the field that will be used to type in the “Latitude”]

you'll see what happens to the map just here below. [Presenter hovers their mouse over the map beneath the field for "Latitude” and “Longitude”]

[Presenter types in random coordinates for “Latitude”]

So Jane Doe is from the Gulf region.

[Presenter types in random coordinates for “Longitude”]

So the coordinates should be appearing in the Gulf region. If I just click outside the box,

[Presenter clicks outside the boxes for “Latitude” and “Longitude”, and a map of the Gulf region appears]

you see a pin automatically populates,

[Presenter hovers their mouse over a pin that has formed in the middle of the map, and zooms in on the area where the pin is located]

where the set of coordinates that I've entered is actually located.

So this pin corresponds to the lat/long that we just entered. The map is an opportunity to make sure that the coordinates that you've submitted are correct. If these are correct,

[Presenter zooms out of the area on the map where the pin has been dropped]

you can just review your information one more time,

[Presenter scrolls upwards on the tab to review the section of the page that includes the date and coordinate system]

make sure that the date is correct, the coordinates are correct.

[Presenter scrolls to the page to where the map is located]

If you're satisfied with the information, you can click on “Next.”

[Presenter hovers their mouse on the arrow that has “Next” written on it]
