City of Ketchikan and Other Places Within the Ketchikan Gateway Borough: Holdings of Limited Entry Permits, Sablefish Quota Shares, and Halibut Quota Shares Through 1997 and Data On Fishery CFEC Report 98-SPKetchkn-N Alaska Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission 8800 Glacier Highway, Suite 109 Juneau, Alaska 99801 (907) 789-6160

Abstract: This report is one of a series of reports on Gulf of Alaska coastal communities that were prepared with funding provided by the Restricted Access Management Program (NMFS- RAM) of the National Marine Fisheries Service - Alaska Region. This report covers the holdings of restricted use-privileges by from the Ketchikan area. For the purposes of this report, the Ketchikan area includes the city of Ketchikan as well as other places within the Ketchikan Gateway Borough, including Ward Cove and Loring. A separate report has been prepared for the Ketchikan Gateway Borough community of Saxman. This report provides fishery-specific data on holdings of Alaska limited entry permits by from the Ketchikan area. There are tables that show the number of limited entry permits initially issued to from the area, and the number of these permits held at year-end 1997. Time series data on limited entry permit holdings are also provided. Similarly, the report contains data on halibut and sablefish quota shares initially allocated to from this area as well as quota shares held at year-end 1997. Quota shares are the basic use-privileges issued under the halibut and sablefish individual fishing quota (IFQ) programs. Time series data on quota share holdings are also provided. Finally, the report contains time series data on the fishery gross earnings of Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission (CFEC) limited entry and interim-use permit holders from this area, organized by permit fishery. The report also contains 1995-1997 time series data on gross earnings in the halibut and sablefish IFQ fisheries for quota share holders from the area.

Introduction Purpose of the Report This report is one of a series of reports on Gulf of Alaska coastal communities. The reports were prepared by the Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission (CFEC) with funding provided by the Restricted Access Management Program (NMFS-RAM) of the National Marine Fisheries Service - Alaska Region. This particular report covers the holdings of restricted use-privileges by from the Ketchikan area. For the purposes of this report, the Ketchikan area includes the city of Ketchikan as well as other places within the Ketchikan Gateway Borough, including Ward Cove and Loring. A separate report has been prepared for the Ketchikan Gateway Borough community of Saxman. In early 1998, the Gulf of Alaska Coastal Communities Coalition (Coalition) made presentations to two committees of the Ocean Studies Board of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) and National Research Council regarding restricted access programs of the North Pacific Fishery Management Council (Council). These two committees were the Committee to Review Community Development Quotas (CDQ) and the Committee to Review Individual Fishing Quotas (IFQ). A presentation was also made before a joint meeting of the Alaska Board of Fisheries (ABOF) and the Council. 1 The Coalition indicated that Gulf of Alaska coastal communities were dependent upon continued access to commercial fishing and they wanted their concerns to be considered in the future when the Council develops new restricted access programs or modifies existing Council programs. They also indicated that some Gulf of Alaska coastal communities had not fared well under the State of Alaska s limited entry program or under the Council s sablefish and halibut IFQ programs. NMFS-RAM administers the sablefish and halibut IFQ programs and the Council s vessel moratorium for groundfish and crab. NMFS-RAM will administer the new groundfish and crab license limitation programs passed by the Council as well as any future restricted access programs passed by the Council. NMFS-RAM is committed to monitoring changes under the existing restricted access programs in Alaska so they can provide the Council and the public with accurate data and information on the programs. NMFS-RAM hopes this monitoring effort will help inform policy discussions on proposals for new programs or proposals to alter existing programs. 1 The name of the group making the presentations was slightly different for each presentation. The statement to the Committee to Review CDQs in January 1998 was made by a group called The Coalition of Gulf of Alaska Small Boat Fishermen In Support of Marine Resources Conservation and Allocation Equity. The statement made at the February 1998 joint meeting of the ABOF and the Council was made by a group called Gulf of Alaska Fisheries Dependent Communities Coalition. The presentation to the Committee To Review IFQs in April 1998 was made by a group called the Gulf of Alaska Coastal Communities Coalition. The authors have assumed that these are the same groups and we have used the latter name herein for ease of exposition. 1

For this reason, NMFS-RAM contracted with CFEC to produce a series of reports on Gulf of Alaska coastal communities or groups of communities. The purpose of the series of reports is to provide basic data on how these communities have fared with respect to the initial allocation and retention of entry permits for Alaska s limited fisheries and with respect to the initial allocation and retention of quota shares under the sablefish and halibut IFQ programs. Data are also presented on the estimated fishery gross earnings of from these communities. Report Overview This report is divided into three sections. Each section contains information on both CFEC permits issued under Alaska s limited entry program and on Quota Shares (QS)/ IFQ issued under the Council s sablefish and halibut IFQ programs. Section 1 provides data on the initial allocation of permanent limited entry permits issued to from the Ketchikan area and the year-end 1997 number of entry permits held by in the area. These data are provided by limited entry fishery. The section also provides data on the amount of QS initially allocated to from the area and the amount of QS held by in the area at the end of 1997. These data are provided for the sablefish and halibut fisheries by management area. Section 2 provides a more detailed time series table on the holdings of limited entry permits by from the Ketchikan area. The table shows how the holdings of entry permits have changed over time. These data are provided by limited fishery. Section 2 also provides a time series table on the holdings of sablefish and halibut QS by from the area. These data are provided by species and management area and show how QS holdings have changed over time. Section 3 provides information on the estimated fishing gross earnings associated with from the Ketchikan area. One table provides time series gross earnings information on CFEC permit holders who live in the area. These data are based upon fish ticket records and include information on both limited and unlimited fisheries. A second table provides time series gross earnings data associated with quota share holders from the area. These data are based upon NMFS-RAM harvest records and are presented by species and management area. 2

1. Initial Allocation and Year-End 1997 Holdings Of Restricted Use-Privileges This section provides overview data on the restricted fishery use-privileges held by from the Ketchikan area at initial allocation and at year-end 1997. Table 1a provides data on holdings of Alaska limited entry permits by permit type. These data are compiled from CFEC permit files. The table shows the number of limited entry permits held at initial allocation and at yearend 1997 by limited fishery permit type. One summary row shows the total number of limited entry permits held across all limited fisheries. A second summary row shows the number of unique from the area who hold limited entry permits. Note that a person can hold limited entry permits for more than one limited fishery. Note also that different fisheries have been limited at different points in time since 1975, and the initial allocation of permits may have taken place in any year over the 1975 to 1997 period. There are several reasons why the number of limited entry permits held by from a community can increase or decrease over time. Permits can be initially allocated to in the community. Permits can also be transferred from outside the community to in the community, or vice versa. Similarly, holding limited entry permits can move into or out of the community. Finally, some limited entry permits can be revoked or forfeited under the law. For all of these reasons, the number of entry permits for a particular fishery held at year-end 1997 might be different than the number of entry permits held by in the community at some other point in time. Table 1b provides data on halibut and sablefish QS holdings at initial allocation and at year-end 1997. These data are taken from NMFS-RAM computerized records. The table shows the amount of QS and the number of QS holders at initial allocation and at the end of 1997, by species and management area. QS amounts have been converted into 1997 IFQ equivalent pounds using 1997 NMFS-RAM standard conversion factors. Summary rows showing halibut and sablefish IFQ pounds and the unique counts of QS holders across areas are provided. Lastly, a community total row is provided showing the unique number of QS holders from the community across both species and all management areas. The reader should note that a QS holder might hold QS in multiple areas and for both halibut and sablefish. Also, it should be noted that individual QS units hold different values as IFQ pounds from year-to-year and from area-to-area and therefore are not additive across areas. 3

There are several reasons why the amount of QS held by from a community can increase or decrease over time. Quota shares can be initially allocated to in the community. Quota shares can also be transferred from outside the community to in the community, or vice versa. Similarly, holding QS can move into or out of the community. Finally, some QS may be revoked. For all of these reasons, the amount of QS of a particular type held at year-end 1997 might be different than the amount of QS of that type held by in the community at some other point in time. For similar reasons, the number of QS holders can change over time. 4

2. Comparisons of Holdings Of Restricted Use-Privileges Over Time This section provides more detailed time series data on the restricted use-privileges held by in the Ketchikan area. Table 2a provides time series data on the type and number of limited entry permits held by from the Ketchikan area in five-year increments from 1975 through 1995 and at year-end 1997. Holdings of entry permits in the area can change over time due to initial allocations, permit transfers, the relocation of permit holders, and permit revocations or forfeitures. The reader should note that this table only covers entry permits in limited fisheries. Fisheries are limited under Alaska law only when limitation becomes necessary. The original 19 salmon fisheries were limited in 1974. Other limitations occurred in more recent years. Table 2b provides time series data on the amount of sablefish and halibut QS held by from the Ketchikan area over the 1995 to 1997 time period. The sablefish and halibut IFQ program began in 1995. The table is organized by species, management area, and year. It also shows the number of QS holders from the area and translates the QS holdings into 1997 IFQ equivalent pounds using standard NMFS-RAM conversion factors. The table includes summary rows showing the total unique number of QS holders from the community in each year across all areas and species. The reader should note that the counts of QS holders in the table refer to the holding the QS. These can be natural (individuals), corporations, partnerships, or other legal entities. These are not always the individuals who fish the IFQ in a year. Provisions in the IFQ program allow for the use of hired skippers and for some QS leasing under certain conditions. Holdings of QS in the community can change over time due to initial QS allocations, QS transfers, the relocation of QS holders, QS revocations, or other changes due to administrative appeals. 7

3. Fishery This section examines the estimated fishery gross earnings of from the Ketchikan area. The gross earnings shown in these tables are CFEC estimates of the dollar amount received for the fish sold. These estimates are not measures of net earnings or profits because none of the costs associated with the fishing operations have been removed. Table 3a provides time series data on the gross earnings of CFEC permit holders from the Ketchikan area. 2 The table covers the 1975 to 1995 time period in five-year increments. The table is organized by CFEC permit fishery and includes counts of the number of from the area who had gross earnings from the fishery. 3 The table also includes a summary row that totals the gross earnings of CFEC permit holders from the area over all fisheries in the year and provides a count of the unique number of who recorded landings in any fishery during the year. 4 The table includes data from both limited and unlimited fisheries. Table 3a is derived from Alaska Department of Fish & Game (ADF&G) fish ticket data and CFEC ex-vessel price estimates. 5 Table 3b provides 1995-1997 time series data on the gross earnings of QS holders from the Ketchikan area in the sablefish and halibut IFQ fisheries. These data are derived by applying CFEC statewide average ex-vessel price estimates to NMFS-RAM harvest data. NMFS-RAM catch files represent a different data source than the ADF&G fish ticket files. The table includes estimates of total gross earnings and the number of QS holders from the area by species, management area, and year. 6 A summary row provides the total gross earnings associated with the QS holders from the area summed over all management areas and species as well as a count of the unique number of QS holders from the area with commercial sablefish or halibut harvests during the year. 7 Both tables represent estimates of fishery gross earnings associated with from the Ketchikan area, irrespective of where the harvest actually occurred or where the fish were landed. The reader should note that these tables do not represent the value of fish landed in Ketchikan. Data on halibut and sablefish landings by major port are available from NMFS-RAM. 2 The table includes some harvests in waters controlled by the Annette Island Reserve. CFEC permits were issued to the reservation to record harvests on ADFG fish tickets. This harvest was assigned to the Ketchikan area because of the address given on the permit. 3 In some cases, CFEC permit codes for a fishery have changed over the years. In such cases, the reader may see a fishery description repeated in the table. 4 A person may participate in multiple fisheries as a CFEC permit holder. Therefore, the unique number of permit holders in the community is usually less than the sum of permit holders with landings across all fisheries. 5 The 1975 fishery earnings in the table for CFEC permit holders may be underestimated. 1975 was the first year that CFEC permit numbers were data entered. Permit numbers are not on the 1975 computerized halibut fish ticket records. Therefore, halibut earnings cannot be attributed to any CFEC permit holder during that year and hence cannot be assigned to communities. Also in 1975, in some fisheries besides halibut, the percentage of missing or unmatched CFEC permit numbers was higher than in more recent years. For these reasons, the 1975 gross earnings may be underestimated. 6 Again, these data represent the person who holds the QS and not necessarily the individual who recorded the landing. The IFQ programs allow the use of hired skippers under certain conditions. Some QS leasing is also allowed. 7 QS holders may have holdings for more than one management area and species. Thus the unique counts of QS holders with harvests across all species and areas may be less than the sum of the counts of QS holders with harvests across all species and areas. 10
