I contacted Corey Niles about possible Washington data. PacFIN and RecFIN have there own data sharing agreements. The possible data that would be relevant are therefore

1. historical landings and historical biological sampling data, and
2. recent state conducted hook and line surveys
3. tribal data

His response was that for

1. The groundfish data should all be in PacFIN (well for the years PacFIN covers). The historical landings would be total catches across all participants, by year and gear type, and so we wouldn’t worry about confidentiality with those. And we don’t treat biological data as confidential (although there could be some scenarios where it could be—the canary samples wouldn’t be such a case).
2. As for the new hook and line survey data, that wouldn’t be confidential. Unless Theresa feels otherwise, I don’t think a DSA is necessary to share that with you all.
3. Joe Peterson is the contact for tribabl data. Joe's response was that "for assessment purposes you are allowed to use the tribal data that comes from PacFIN, we do not require any more non-disclosure agreements."

Therefore, WA data should not need a DSA, with the exception of whether Theresa thinks they should be.

Ali provided the ODFW DSA. She clarifies that the agreement allows for storage on the network as a backup however the datasets identified should be saved in the confidential archive folder. Adding admins for that file to the DSA is not necessary according to Ali. Details in email to Brian and Kiva on 11/7
