Fish Data Submission – Online Submission:
New: Update 1 (Nov 12, 2009): This follow-up to an earlier update is to notify users of this site that a new procedure for ‘Online Submission’ will be in effect Dec 07, 2009. We will be replacing the ‘FTP site’ upload (Step 1) and ‘Fish Data Submission Form’ (Step 2) by providing access to a Microsoft Windows SharePoint ‘On-line Fish Data Submissions’ page to upload your data submissions and provide your submission information.
Potential submitters to this site should be aware that a “BCeID” or Provincial Government employee IDIR account will be required. If you require a BCeID, and do not currently have one, you can register for one through https://www.bceid.ca/register/. Several BCeID account “types” are available, however, the simplest option is to register for a “Basic BCeID" and then select Register without specifying an Online Service. Please retain your BCeID account username and password to access the new ‘Online Submission page'. If you have any questions regarding the change in procedure or acquiring a “BCeID” contact us at fishdatasub@gov.bc.ca.
Update 2 (June 10, 2009): In addition to, but not replacing the ‘minimum data standards’, the Ministry of Environment requests that all project deliverables such as digital reports, maps or databases also be submitted. We will accept this information for inclusion into EcoCat (our public reports catalogue), for the benefit of all future information seekers and fish conservation.
Step 1. Upload Files
This online process allows you to submit fisheries field information for inclusion in provincial databases and catalogues.
Prepare your Files
Organize and prepare your files on your computer before loading to the FTP site. You cannot organize your files or create a folder once your files are on the FTP site.
- If there is more than one file for the permit; submit your files in a folder and name the folder as in the following example: NASU06-21344
- Name the individual files so that the Permit Number is at the beginning of the file name, as in the following example: NASU06-21344_Stream_Assessment_Submission_Report.xls.
Connect to the following FTP site to upload your report, map and database files:
- ftp://ftpfsh.env.gov.bc.ca/pub/incoming/fish_data_submissions/
- Click here for tips on loading your files to the FTP site
NOTE: If you experience any problems uploading your files to this site, please stop the submission process and send an email indicating the nature of the problem to: fishdatasub@gov.bc.ca.
Once you have loaded your files to the FTP site, please go to Step 2. Data Submission Form, and complete the required Fish Data Submissions Form. This will allow us to match your files to the permit(s) in our tracking database and aenable us to contact you on the event of any problems.
