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
0539
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 0539 were Sea
Scallop, Surfclam, Ocean Quahog, Summer Flounder, Scup, Black Sea Bass,
Mackerel, Squid, and Butterfish and Monkfish. 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, ASMFC FMP, Atlantic Herring, Bluefish, Highly Migratory
Species, Northeast Multispecies, SERO FMP, Skates, Small-Mesh
Multispecies, Spiny Dogfish, 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 71 species without federal FMPs
caught in the OCS-A 0539 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 0539 area and dividing it
by the total annual fishing revenue and landings in that port during
2008-2022. Data for ports that cannot be displayed due to
confidentiality protection or because no known port was reported are
displayed as “All Other Ports” for the affiliated landing state. The top
ten max dependent ports contain a masked set of ports for VA with more
than 2 ports. These ports are Cape Charles, VA, City Of Chesapeake, VA,
City Of Hampton, VA, City Of Seaford, VA, Northampton (County), VA and
Sanford, VA.

Percentage of Revenue by Permit
We also analyzed the percentage of each permit’s total commercial
fishing revenue coming from within the OCS-A 0539 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 0539 area,
Table 11.2 presents the revenue generated inside the OCS-A 0539 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.
