§ 79122 Diver Landing Data Confidentiality

Key Takeaways

  • •Private info about divers (like names, addresses, and how much they catch or sell) is kept secret.
  • •The government can't share this info unless a court says they have to.
  • •They can share general numbers (like total fish caught) but not details about specific people.
  • •This rule is to protect people's privacy while still allowing important reports to be made.

Example

A reporter asks the government for a list of divers and how much money they made from selling fish.

The government can't give out that list because it's private info. But they can say something like 'All divers together sold 1,000 pounds of fish this month.'
