Commission to decide on land transaction, commercial ticketing application at August webinar

OLYMPIA – The Washington Fish and Wildlife Commission will decide whether to move forward with a land transaction and rule making on regulations for dealers when submitting an electronic fish receiving ticket at a virtual meeting next week. 

The meeting will take place from 8:30 to 10 a.m. on Friday, Aug. 26. Commissioners will hear a staff briefing and decide on a proposed land transaction to sell about seven acres in Thurston County. 

The Commission will then decide whether to proceed with a rule making proposal to add dealer geolocation to the required information on an electronic fish receiving ticket. This would support an enforcement feature of the under-development WA-Tix electronic catch reporting application, which will allow users to complete an electronic fish receiving ticket from a mobile device.

This meeting will be held via Zoom; more information and an agenda for the meeting -- as well as recordings and information about past meetings -- can be found on the Commission’s webpage.

The Washington Fish and Wildlife Commission is a panel appointed by the governor that sets policy for the WDFW. WDFW works to preserve, protect and perpetuate fish, wildlife and ecosystems while providing sustainable fish and wildlife recreational and commercial opportunities.
