Needs and Uses: The mandatory vessel and gear characterization

NMFS is currently collecting census-level information on fishing
vessel and gear characteristics in the Gulf of Mexico (Gulf) commercial
shrimp fishery (Gulf shrimp fishery), which operates in the Gulf

U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), National Environmental Policy Act, Regulatory
Flexibility Act, Endangered Species Act, and Executive Order 12866 are
met; and quantify achievement of the performance measures in the NMFS'
Operating Plans. This information is vital in assessing the economic,
social, and environmental effects of fishery management decisions and
regulations on individual shrimp fishing enterprises, fishing
communities, and
