Abstract
  • The presentation discusses cost data collection methods and use in support of commercial fisheries management in the Pacific Islands Region, United States.  Traditionally, economic information on Pacific Island fisheries was limited primarily to the dockside value of landed fish.  Data on fishing expenses were obtained intermittently, through episodic surveys conducted once every five or so years.  The paucity of economic data has been a significant hurdle in the evaluation of economic performance of fisheries and assessment of economic impacts associated with proposed regulatory alternatives. Since 2004, significant strides have been made towards establishing programs to collect economic data on a continuous basis through add-on to existing intercept surveys or observed fishing trips.  This presentation describes the methods and challenges of implementing several economic data collection programs in Pacific Island fisheries.  Data quality control protocols, database development, and data integration with other fisheries dependent data will be discussed.  In addition, this presentation provides examples of the uses of economic data in supporting management and research needs across Pacific Island fisheries.
