Abstract: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) proposes to collect socioeconomic data from commercial fishermen in the Gulf of Mexico shrimp fishery who hold a permit for shrimp fishing in federal waters (U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone). Information about variable and fixed costs, capital investment and other economic information will be collected. This data complements other data already collected and is needed to conduct analyses that will improve the management of the shrimp fishery and to satisfy legal requirements. The data will be used to assess how fishermen will be impacted by and respond to federal regulation likely to be considered by fishery managers.
