Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission is the Data Collection Agent for the Bering Sea/Aleutian Islands Crab Rationalization Program.

The purpose of the economic data collection is to aid the Council and NMFS in assessing the success of the Program and develop amendments necessary to mitigate any unintended consequences.

The Economic Data Report (EDR), containing cost, revenue, ownership, and employment data, will be collected annually from the harvesting and processing sectors. The data would be used to study the economic impacts of the Program on harvesters, processors and communities.

Participation in the data collection program is mandatory for all participants in the crab fisheries.


2011 EDR Notices will be mailed the end of April, 2012. Fillable .pdf files will be available here as they are created.
