This online process allows you to submit fisheries field information for inclusion in provincial databases and catalogues. At the online submission site you will be:

What you need for Access

Internet Access

  • Microsoft (MS) Internet Explorer (IE)7 is recommended for access to the Online site. Depending on your current IE browser settings you may need to modify the settings to successfully access SharePoint (Instructions at bottom of page).
  • As the submission site is based on a MS product (SharePoint); you may experience difficulties beyond our control if are using Firefox (Mozilla) or Safari (Apple) browsers. We are unable to provide you full support or assistance, with these browsers.

Account Access

  • Either a Provincial Government employee "IDIR" account or a non-government “BCeID” account is required for access. A "BCeID" account will be used by those without an IDIR account. 
  • If you do not currently have a BCeID, you can register for one through https://www.bceid.ca/register/.  
  • There are three BCeID account “types”.  It is recommended that you register for the more secure “Business BCeID”. While the simpler “Basic BCeID" is also accepted, the “Personal BCeID” type is inappropriate. 
  • When asked for an online service to register with, please select “Register without specifying an Online Service”.  
  • As part of your BCeID registration, you choose your own 'UserID' and 'Password'.
  • Help File for BCeID access (604 KB)

Preparing your Files

  • If there is more than one file for the submission; it is easiest to submit your files in a ZIP folder.
  • If the submission is for a DFO and/or MoE permit; name the folder in the format: MoE Permit number_DFO Permit number: (e.g. NASU06-21344_XHAB 123 2006)
  • Name the individual files in the format: MoE/DFO/Permit number(s)_deliverable type (e.g. NASU06-21344_XHAB 123 2006_Data.xls; NASU06-21344_XHAB 123 2006_Map.pdf)

 

Accessing the Online Submission Site (please read before entering site)

For First Time Access to the site :

  1. You will be prompted with the sign in box "Connect to Sharepoint.env.gov.bc.ca"
  2. In the user name box: Type “bceid\”, followed by your chosen ‘User name’, so that the format looks like: bceid\username. Important: Make sure you are using a “\” and not “/” between “bceid” and your ‘username’.
  3. In the password box: Enter your chosen password. Important: Do not be concerned when you receive an “Error Access Denied” screen. On that screen; you then need to click "Request access".
  4. Then select “Send Request” on the next screen that pops up.

Note: First Time Access is not immediate; your request will be granted manually (Monday to Friday during business hours) by one of our staff and you will be sent an email confirming your access, if you provided one to BCeID. This is usually shortly after your request or within a couple of hours. If you have not received access within a reasonable time or have further problems or questions, please contact us at fishdatasub@gov.bc.ca.

 

For Returning Access to the site:

 

You will be prompted with just the sign in box. Enter your 'user name' and 'password' as you did for First Time Access (see 2, 3 above). Make sure you are using a “\” and not “/” between “bceid” and your ‘username’.
