Abstract:
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), NOAA Fisheries, Southeast Fisheries Science Center 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). Information about revenues, variable and fixed costs, capital investment and other socioeconomic information is collected from a random sample of permit holders. Additionally, we will conduct a short demographic/socioeconomic survey of shrimp vessel crews. Next to nothing is known about the five thousand individuals crewing federally permitted shrimp vessels. These data are needed to conduct socioeconomic analyses in support of management of the shrimp fishery and to satisfy legal requirements. 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. This request is to modify/add questions to give options to record income/expenses from oil clean-up activities.

Short Statement:
No changes or adjustments are requested for the economic survey of vessel owners (other than the burden hours change related to the population size change mentioned above). Program Change: New crew survey will add 300 hours. Most federally permitted shrimp vessels in the Southeast are operated by 3 to 4 crew members, including the captain. We estimate that there are over 5000 hired crew members working in the federal shrimp fisheries of the southeast US. These individuals are almost entirely unstudied (and ignored in the management process). No sampling frame is available for this population (as there is no crew permit in the Southeast). We propose to contact them by asking a (random) subset of selected vessel owners to hand a 2-page survey questionnaire (with attached return envelope) to their current crew members, thereby making the crew member survey subsidiary to the vessel owner survey. There is no way to know in advance how well this setup will work, and what type of response we will receive. We have spoken to a couple of owners who seemed willing to participate, and have not encountered significant objections. Our questions for the crew members are very basic and demographic in nature. The goal of this new element of the data collection is to provide some broad, rough information where no information currently exists. The only alternative method for collecting information from this crew population would be an expensive and difficult-to-organize dockside intercept survey (especially since typical shrimp trips often take 3 weeks or more; and access to private docks is not guaranteed; the NE recently tried).
