SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
NOAA Fisheries, Southeast Fisheries Science Center, annually
collects socioeconomic data from commercial fishermen in the Gulf of
Mexico and South Atlantic shrimp fisheries who hold one or more permits
for harvesting shrimp from federal waters (U.S. Exclusive Economic
Zone). A collection of economic information from fishers affected by
the management of federal commercial fisheries is needed to ensure that
national goals, objectives, and requirements of the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MFCMA) and other laws are met.
The data is needed to conduct socioeconomic analyses in support of
management of the shrimp fishery and to satisfy legal requirements.
Information about revenues, variable and fixed costs, capital
investment and other socioeconomic information is collected from a
random sample of permit holders. 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. No changes are requested with
this renewal request.
II. Method of Collection
The information will be collected on paper using a mail survey.
