Fishing communities of the North Pacific : social science research at the Alaska Fisheries Science Center / by Christina Package and Jennifer Sepez.
In: Quarterly report / Alaska Fisheries Science Center. Apr.-May-June 2004, p. 1-11.
Abstract: NOAA Fisheries is involved in a nationwide effort to profile fishing communities for the purpose of expanding baseline knowledge of people who may be affected by changes in fishery regulations. In 2003 a team of graduate students at the Alaska Fisheries Science Center (AFSC) completed draft short-form profiles for 130 communities located in the state of Alaska. These profiles have been compiled in the upcoming publication Fishing Communities of the North Pacific, Volume I: Alaska. Longer profiles based on in-depth research also are being developed at the AFSC for a more select group of Alaska fishing communities. In mid-2004, the AFSC team joined with a team from the Northwest Fisheries Science Center to begin developing short-form profiles for West Coast communities, many of which are very involved in Alaska fisheries.
