The survey collected data for the 2011, 2012, 2013, 2015, and 2017 fishing seasons. In spite of regulatory changes to Alaskas sport fishery over the last decade, information about how changes in fisheries management tools affect sport fishery anglers and charter businesses has generally been limited to date. While some information on the Alaska charter boat sector has been collected through the State of Alaskas Statewide Harvest Survey and Saltwater Charter logbook program, the accompanying data has generally been limited to information about angler participation and harvest and amount of charter activities. Information on vessel and crew characteristics, services offered to clients, and information detailing cost and earnings have generally not been available for study. To address this gap in information, the Alaska Fisheries Science Center (AFSC) of the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) developed and implemented the Alaska Saltwater Sport Fishing Charter Business Survey to collect baseline economic information about the charter fisheries sector for use in understanding the economics of the charter sector and evaluating the effects of regulatory changes on the sector. underDevelopment Lew, Dan dan.lew@noaa.gov pointOfContact Felthoven, Ron 206-526-4114 7600 Sand Point Way NE Seattle WA 98115-6349 USA ron.felthoven@noaa.gov custodian notPlanned Fishery-Dependent Tracked Asset theme Fisheries charter sector cost fishing costs and earnings groundfish recreational fishing theme Alaska Gulf of Alaska place DOC/NOAA/NMFS/AFSC > Alaska Fisheries Science Center, National Marine Fisheries Service, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 2017-04-24 publication 8.5 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2025.
