The primary goal of this project was to collect up-to-date information on historical trends, current socioeconomic conditions, and the spatial distribution and economic value of key commercial fisheries and the commercial passenger fishing vessel fleet in the Central Coast Region.
This data set is a part of Ecotrust's project entitled: Establishing a Baseline and Assessing Spatial and Socioeconomic Change in the California Central Coast Commercial and CPFV Fisheries. This project is a component of the California Central Coast Marine Protected Area Baseline Monitoring Project that is designed to characterize the ecological and socioeconomic conditions and changes within the Central Coast Region since MPA implementation. The Central Coast study region extends from the north at Pigeon Point to the south at Point Conception. This dataset consists of data collected in the spring of 2012 from fisheries mapping interviews with commercial passenger fishing vessel (CPFV) captains. Interviews were conducted with CPFV captains in the following ports: Santa Cruz, Moss Landing, Monterey, Morro Bay, and Avila-Port San Luis in the Central Coast Region. Results from the interviews were then combined through an aggregation process where the stated value each fisherman gives to their fishery specific fishing grounds are weighted by percent gross economic revenue earned from that fishery for in 2011. This dataset represents the spatial extent and relative value of salmon CPFV fishing grounds for the Central Coast Region in the year 2011.
