Descriptions of Selected Fishery Landings and Estimates of Vessel Revenue from Areas: A Planning-level Assessment


Prepared by:
National Marine Fisheries Service


April 30, 2024



OCS-A 0534



Data sources:
Commercial Fisheries landings data, Vessel Trip Reports, and Surfclam/OceanQuahog Logbooks


In order to meet requirements of maintaining data confidentiality, these strata are presented individually. In addition, for records that did not meet the rule of three (>=3 unique dealers and >= 3 unique permits), values were summarized as ‘ALL OTHERS’.

Some caveats/notes:

  • The lease area and any export cable corridor(s) for approved projects, as applicable, used for this report reflect areas posted on the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) website as of November 16, 2023.
  • Values are reported in real 2022 dollars as calculated using the GDP Implicit Price Deflator.
  • Pounds are reported in landed (dressed) pounds.
  • Data summarized here is based on vessels that are required to provide federal VTRs for GARFO managed species (check here for more information).
  • Federal lobster vessels with only lobster permits do not have a VTR requirement. Many vessels issued an Atlantic Highly Migratory Species or Southeast Regional Office permit also do not have a Greater Atlantic Regional Fisheries Office (GARFO) VTR requirement. Trips with no GARFO VTR are not reflected in this summary and impacts to these fisheries may be underrepresented.
  • The ASMFC FMP includes the following species: American Lobster, Cobia, Atlantic Croaker, Black Drum, Red Drum, Menhaden, NK Sea Bass, NK Seatrout, Spot, Striped Bass, Tautog, Jonah Crab, and Pandalid Shrimp.
  • The SERO FMP includes the following species: Amber Jack, Brown Shrimp, Dolphinfish, Greater Amberjack, Grouper, Grunts, Hogfish, King Mackerel, Long Tail Grouper, NK Porgy, Penaeid Shrimp, Red Grouper, Red Hind, Red Porgy, Red Snapper, Rock Hind, Sand Tilefish, Scamp Grouper, Snapper, Snowy Grouper, Spadefish, Spanish Mackerel, Speckled Hind, Spiny American Lobster, Triggerfish, Vermillion Snapper, Wahoo, Wreckfish, Yellowedge Grouper.
  • There exist other fisheries in State waters that may not be reflected in data from federal sources (e.g. whelk, bluefish, and menhaden). It is recommended to query state agencies for additional data within state waters.
  • All summaries presented here are built from percentages of a trip that overlapped spatially with the WEAs. These percentages were applied to landings and values for that trip and summed. This differs from simply using the self-reported VTR/clam logbook locations as those place all value from that trip at a single point. Use of the VTR raster model is more representative as smoothing reported locations reduces the effect of location inaccuracy.
  • The information reported for 2020 should be interpreted with caution due to the generalized impacts the COVID-19 pandemic had across many fisheries in the Greater Atlantic Region resulting in reduced landings and lower prices; hence lower revenues as well as unusually low numbers of vessels that fished during the year.
  • The number of small businesses changes over time both because of changes in affiliated ownership and fluctuations in revenue. For this reason, we use and report only the most recent three years’ revenue in the Small Business Analysis section of this report, consistent with historical guidance provided by the Small Business Administration.
  • Confidential data is listed as “Suppressed” or “All Others.”
  • All numbers have been rounded to the nearest thousand.

Most Impacted FMPs

We define “most impacted” as the FMPs deriving the most revenue from the area over the fifteen year analysis period of 2008 to 2022, indicating the highest potential for impact to industry from a reduction in fishing area. The top 5 FMPs by revenue in OCS-A 0534 were Mackerel, Squid, and Butterfish, Summer Flounder, Scup, Black Sea Bass, ASMFC FMP, Skates and Small-Mesh Multispecies. Revenue values have been deflated to 2022 dollars. Specific figures on these FMPs within the area follow. See Table 5.1 for area totals for all FMPs and species.

Other Impacted FMPs

We analyzed other impacted FMPs separately in order to better visualize the estimated landings and revenues. The other impacted FMPs are: All Others, Atlantic Herring, Bluefish, Highly Migratory Species, Monkfish, Northeast Multispecies, Sea Scallop, SERO FMP, Spiny Dogfish, Surfclam, Ocean Quahog, Tilefish and “No Federal FMP.” The category “No Federal FMP” contains a variety of species that are not federally regulated, such as: lobster, Jonah crab, smooth and chain dogfish, whelk, and menhaden, (there are close to 61 species without federal FMPs caught in the OCS-A 0534 area). The category “All Others” refers to FMPs with less than three permits or dealers impacted to protect data confidentiality. Revenue values have been deflated to 2022 dollars. See Table 5.1 for area totals for all FMPs and species.

Port Dependency

The percentage of regional revenue and landings for the ten most dependent ports (by maximum percent of annual regional revenue) are listed below. Percent of revenue and landings is derived by taking the annual revenue and landings within the OCS-A 0534 area and dividing it by the total annual fishing revenue and landings in that port during 2008-2022.

Percentage of Revenue by Permit

We also analyzed the percentage of each permit’s total commercial fishing revenue coming from within the OCS-A 0534 area (see boxplots figures and tables below). Boxplots are important statistical summaries because they provide information about the distribution of the percentages. The boxplots below begin at the 1st quartile, or the value beneath which 25 percent of all observations fall. A thick line within the box identifies the median, the observation at which 50 percent of observations are above or beneath. The box ends at the 3rd quartile, or the observation beneath which 75 percent of observations fall. Nonparametric estimates of the minimum and maximum values are also indicated by the “whiskers” (dashed line terminating in a vertical line) that jut out from each side of the box. Any points outside of these whiskers are observations that are considered outliers. In our tables, however, the maximum values are inclusive of outliers. The first table below presents the minimum, 1st quartile, median, 3rd quartile, and maximum values for the area. These are the fifteen year revenue percentages. The following table represents the total number of outliers by year. The boxplots in the figures below further separate the area out by year.

Small Business Analysis

A business primarily engaged in commercial fishing is classified as a small business if it is independently owned and operated, is not dominant in its field of operation (including its affiliates) and has combined annual receipts not in excess of $11 million for all its affiliated operations worldwide. Small Business Administration principles of affiliation are used to define a business entity, meaning the following analysis is conducted upon unique business interests, which can represent multiple vessel permits. As such, this section presents the total number of entities, by business category, and the total revenue generated by that business category in Table 11.1. For those businesses with historical fishing within the OCS-A 0534 area, Table 11.2 presents the revenue generated inside the OCS-A 0534 area against the total revenue from those same entities. Revenue values have been deflated to 2022 dollars.

Species Dependence

The tables below indicate the top ten species deriving the most revenue from the area by year. Additional information includes landings and effort (Days-at-Sea, or DAS) occurring within the area of interest as a percentage of totals generated by that species across the entire region for each year and the total number of trips and vessels from the area FMP, species, and port for each year. Trips with less than three permits or dealers have been removed to protect data confidentiality. The total number of trips, and number vessels taking those trips, represent an upper bound on the counts as it does not take into account the probability of these trips actually overlapping the area of interest, and identifies all the individuals who could be displaced by wind energy development. Therefore, also included is a count of trips and vessels weighted by the probability of overlap with the area of interest, to generate a more precise expected count of trips and vessels fishing within the area. The category “All Others” refers to gear type categories with less than three permits or dealers impacted to protect data confidentiality.
