1 Exhibit E Recreational Abalone Fishery Management March 16 th, 2018 Scott Groth, Pink Shrimp/ South Coast Shellfish Project Leader Steve Rumrill, Shellfish Program Leader 1
2 Why are we here? Issue at hand: Consider management options for the recreational abalone fishery Current status: -Temporarily suspended (01/01/2018) -Developed a field report (01/19/2018) -Engaged with permit holders -Analyzed California/Oregon fishery history and status -Developed management options Red abalone in a crevice Red abalone amongst red sea urchins
3 Structure of presentation Biology of abalone and how it affects fisheries Abalone fisheries history and issues Condition of Oregon s red abalone stock Current problems Low densities Poor environmental conditions Increased pressure Permit holder questionnaire Management options 3
4 Abalone biology Marine snails Live on rocky reefs Sedentary Eat drift kelp Only live in shallow kelp beds Broadcast spawners Tight aggregations critical Short larval period (local) Long lived ~15 years to minimum size Maximum age years Two red abalone 4
5 Abalone fisheries Principally occur in areas with cold water and rocky reefs (Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Japan, West Coast US) US West Coast has had many fisheries, all closed due to population concerns (5 of 7 species with ESA status) California had most robust fisheries and strongest effects. Source: CDFG,
6 Oregon abalone fisheries Two species Flat abalone: Commercial fishery ( ) Red abalone: Commercial fishery ( ) Recreational fishery (1953-present) Commercially caught flat abalone Recreational red abalone harvest s Photo: Eugene Heflin 6
7 Oregon s red abalone red abalone discovered rules to recreational fishery established (3/week) Depoe Bay commercial fishery and spawning programs designed to bolster fishery /day, 5/ year Added free harvest permit Charleston Port Orford Gold Beach Brookings 7
8 Oregon s abalone fishery Location South Coast Shallow kelp beds Methods 50% SCUBA 28% Free dive 22% Shore pick Permits ~300/year Harvest ~189/year ( ) California SCUBA, 50% ~25,000/year ~239,000/year ( ) No SCUBA allowed Free dive, 28% Shore pick, 22% Charleston Port Orford Gold Beach Depoe Bay Brookings 8
9 So what s the allure? Trophy shells! Red abalone are the worlds largest species of abalone Like many animals, red abalone grow to their largest sizes at polar range extents Oregon red abalones are the largest abalones in the world Trophy hunting abalone is exciting and competitive 9
10 Underpinning problems of abalone fisheries 1. Density dependent spawning success Issue: Abalones only spawn when aggregated Effect: Fishing targets aggregations 2. Fishery data is misleading Issue: Reduced abundance may not affect fishing success Effect: Population crashes due to fishery managers not detecting changes using fishery data 3. Enforcement Easy to illegally harvest and valuable Difficult to monitor 10
11 Current problems 1. Low densities 2. Poor environmental conditions 3. Increasing pressure/ harvest No FMP or conservation framework in place 11
12 1) Low density of red abalone Prior to 2015, no quantitative surveys attempted Belt transect surveys (CA methods) Red abalone density/m² abalone/m² CA fishery closure trigger (ARMP) abalone/m² Vulnerable to collapse (Shepard and Partington, 1995) California ( ) California (2017) Oregon (2015) 12
13 A way to think Oregon red abalone stock/fishery as relates to others Oregon Principal stock, fishing, and science Crescent city, CA Mendocino to Channel Islands, CA
14 2) Poor environmental conditions Kelp beds vastly reduced after El Niño Other factors: purple sea urchins sea star wasting syndrome Orford Reef 2014, lots of kelp Orford Reef 2016, little kelp
15 3) Increasing fishery pressure/ harvest Permits increasing # of permits Permits Shellfish license Rock scallops added 50 0 Harvest increasing Harvest Recent HUGE spike in interest # abalone
16 Questionnaire methods Sent a mailer to all 2016 and 2017 permit holders (n=418) Description of suspension/ current problems Questionnaire to understand what works for harvesters Preferred management approach (closure, alternate fishery rules, status quo) If alternate fishery rules, what would work? Received feedback on ~50% mailers received by permit holders Passionate responses!
17 Questionnaire results Overall preference Most prefer to continue fishery with alternate rules Alternate fishery rule preference Most prefer to reduced annual take Alternate Fishery Rules 65% Closure/ Suspension 27% Defer to ODFW 4% Status quo 4%
18 Summary Abalone biology makes them sensitive to fishing pressure Abalone fisheries have been unsuccessful Low densities in 2015 surveys Surveys results off the charts Low kelp conditions likely starving abalones Increase in fishery/ harvest pressure Historic high, likely to increase further 2/3 permit holders prefer to continue the fishery with new rules, 1/4 prefer closure
19 Options 1. Permanent fishery closure 2. Temporary fishery closure 3. Reduced Annual Limit (3) 4. Reduced Annual Limit (1) 5. Seasonal closure 6. Increased size limit 7. No SCUBA 8. Limited entry permits 9. Status quo
20 1-2) Permanent/ temporary closure Pros: 1. Conservative approach on this very sensitive species 2. Reduces potential for ESA actions 3. Could allow recovery, reduces risk 4. Time to revisit Oregon red abalone stock monitoring 5. Monitoring of California stock trends/management choices Cons: 1. Closes fishery 2. Monitoring is expensive 3. Does not assure a fishery will be advised in future
21 3-4) Reducing annual take Pros: 1. Easy to implement 2. Affords opportunity 3. Possibly reduces overall take Cons: 1. Harvest is upon a sensitive, imperiled stock 2. Not likely to reduce overall take, via increased permits
22 5-6) Seasonal/ size limitations Pros: 1. May reduce take in cooperation with other measures Cons: 1. Harvest is upon a sensitive, imperiled stock 2. Seasonal closures make the fishery more dangerous to fishery participants 3. Increased size limitation likely cause more sorting of abalones (bycatch injuries are lethal)
23 7) No SCUBA Pros: 1. VERY popular among free divers 2. Elegant, easy to understand 3. Easy to implement Cons: 1. Harvest is upon a sensitive, imperiled stock 2. Has no conservation benefit (no depth reserve in OR) 3. Likely conservation negative (more bycatch mortalities) 4. Makes fishery more dangerous for participants 5. Did not work in CA areas with only shallow populations 6. Did not work for current CA situation
24 8) Limited entry Pros: 1. Affords a high value recreation opportunity 2. Allows managers to regulate annual take Cons: 1. Harvest is upon a sensitive, imperiled stock 2. Limits would be expected to be low and permits very expensive 3. Complex and expensive to administer 4. We would have to survey regularly, costly
25 Staff Recommendation Option 2: Temporary fishery closure Allows 3 years to consider stock/fishery Workshop on northern stock with California Track California monitoring surveys Revisit Oregon surveys (if budget allows) Develop an abalone conservation plan This option is most aligned with imperiled status of red abalone, while allowing a near term- check in with Commission
