NOAA Fisheries Survey

Taylor Slough Inc. (TSI) secures a purchase order to implement the NOAA Fisheries Limited Entry Groundfish Fixed Gear Cost and Earning survey. Through this survey, TSI will collect economic data on catcher vessels participating in the federally managed limited entry groundfish fixed gear fishery. These data are used to develop a variety of economic models examining topics such as fleet efficiency, participation, and community economic impacts. These data are also necessary to run the input-output model for Pacific Coast fisheries (IO-PAC), which is used to measure total economic impacts and inform management decisions
