2 INTRODUCTION: Data Gaps and Social Impacts -- CREW Supplying Basic Information Review of Our Study & Results Limitations Future Data Needs

3 METHODS DATA Alaska Dept of Fish and Game (ADF&G) Commercial Crew Member License Database (N = 272,145 annual license holders; ) ** All State Fisheries; Federal if Landings ** No Fishery Specific Information

4 METHODS ADF&G DEFINES CREW MEMBERS: 1. Person who fishes or handles gear 2. Vessel cook 3. Vessel engineer NOT crew: Processing workers Vessel guests Gear Operator Permit Holders

5 METHODS DEMOGRAPHIC FIELDS Total Population License Longevity Age Gender Citizenship & Country Alaska Residency Geographic Distribution State and Community

6 RESULTS: TOTAL POPULATION North Pacific Commercial Fishing Crew Licenses Issued Year The population of crew members has shrunk by ~ 50% in the last decade.

7 License Longevity North Pacific Crew Member License Longevity Percent License Longevity (Number of Years) Average crew member holds license for 1.8 years (only 30% of sample gave unique identifiers; this could be skewed) 20% hold license for 3+ years; Only 7% for 5 or more years

8 AGE Crew Member License Holder Age Distribution Percent Age Group Mean Age is 30.2 years (N = 264,685; s.d. = 12.7 years) Min(1993) = 29.8 years Max (2003) = 30.7 years Significant difference at p<0.001

9 GENDER & AGE Age Distribution Percent Overall Distribution Male Female Age Group Mean Age Women = 31.3 years (N = 35,915; s.d.=14.6 yrs) Mean Age Men = 30.0 years (N = 226,606; s.d.=12.4 yrs) Significant at p < 0.001

10 RESIDENCY & AGE Age Distribution Percent Overall Distribution Residents Non-residents Age Group Mean Age Ak Residents = 29.5 years Mean Age Non-residents = 31.2 years (N = 150,015; s.d yrs) (N = 113,917; s.d. = 11.7 yrs) Significant at p < 0.001

11 GENDER Gender of Crew Member License Holders Percent Year % male % female ~ 9 male crew members to 1 female crew member ~ 1.4% increase in percent of female crew members over study period

12 GENDER & LICENSE TYPE Gender Distribution of Types of Crew Member Licenses Resident Non-Resident Type of License Child Child (Resident) Child (Non-Res) % Female % Male More young crew members are female (30%) The lowest proportion of female crew members are non-residents (7.9%)

13 Geographic Distribution: STATE Distribution of Crew Licenses % 1% 8% 5% (59%) WA (22%) CA (4.7%) 22% 59% OR (4.6%) ID (1.0%) All others (8.1%)

17 How good are crew license data at representing working crew?? US Coast Guard Search and Rescue Incidents (180 crew members from 56 vessels: ) Validity test of ADF&G data No significant differences found: Age Gender Three primary cities: Anchorage, Kodiak, Seattle Methodology test for export to other regions

18 Closing Thoughts Documenting Crew Participation Regulatory Analysis, Decision-Making, Impact Assessment DATA NEEDS: Fishery-specific information Participation Accurate residency information More detailed social scientific research with captains and crew to better understand trends
