The proposed data collection will
provide systematic annual data over the next 10 years for the
socioeconomic impact assessment of communities involved in North
Pacific fisheries and will ensure that both commercial fisheries
data and community level socioeconomic and demographic data are
collected at comparable levels over space and time. Such data will
facilitate analysis of regulatory impacts on communities and
commercial, recreational, and subsistence fisheries, and proposed
changes in fisheries management, both within and across North
Pacific communities involved and engaged in fishing
activities.
