Abstract

This project measures social and cultural impacts of fishery management on the fishing industry and fishing communities. One key focus of this project is the catch share system for the Pacific Groundfish Trawl Fishery. Catch share management results in a variety of social impacts on West Coast fishing communities. This project documents and evaluates these social impacts in order to account for their effects during fishery management decision-making and meet regulatory requirements. A primary tool used for this has been the Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery Social Study. A second focus of this project is to collect oral histories from fishery participants (Voices of the West Coast) and a project to categorized and describe West Coast fishing communities by the gear and species used in commercial fisheries. A third focus of this project is to categorize and describe West Coast fishing communities by the fisheries they engage in and the gears used in those fisheries. A fourth initiative to begin in FY20 will collect information on fishing crew – a segment of the fishing industry for which very little information is currently available.
