Communities by species and gear (Identifying Fishing Communities by Important Species and Gears Utilized)

Description

The Magnuson-Stevens Act (MSA) National Standard 8 includes requirements for research into fishing communities. An initial effort "Community Profiles for the West Coast and North Pacific..." was an initial effort to look at fishing communities. This research effort aims to build upon the community profiling and increase the utility of the profiles, and uses secondary PacFin data, the same as utilized for the community profiling project. The analysis, however, is different. This project aims to determine the following: 1) What communities are important to specific Fishery Management Plans (FMPs)? 2) Within those communities, what is the diversity of species targeted? 3) What are the common gear combinations and types? This effort will be used to provide additional social research to inform management, including the Pacific Fisheries Management Council (PFMC). This project is a multi-year project that is expected to be updated over time. Analysis is broken down by FMP, once one FMP has been fully analyzed and reported on, another FMP undergoes analysis. The project is funded by National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) National Standard 8 funds, is conducted by the project leader and varying NOAA affiliates. Reports will be generated, which include community identification, maps, and supporting results. PacFin sourced data
