Nearshore finfish-live--hook and line commercial fishery, Central Coast Region, Post MPA

This data set is a part of Ecotrust's project entitled: Establishing a Baseline and Assessing Spatial and Socioeconomic Change in the California Central Coast Commercial and CPFV Fisheries. This project is a component of the California Central Coast Marine Protected Area Baseline Monitoring Project that is designed to characterize the ecological and socioeconomic conditions and changes within the Central Coast Region since MPA implementation. The Central Coast study region extends from the north at Pigeon Point to the south at Point Conception. This data set consists of data collected in the spring of 2012 from fisheries mapping interviews with commercial fishermen who had Nearshore finfish-live--hook and line landings in the California Central Coast in 2011. Results from the interviews were then combined through an aggregation process where the value each fisherman gives to their Nearshore finfish-live fishing grounds are weighted by their landings for Nearshore finfish-live in 2011. This data set represents the spatial extent and relative value of Nearshore finfish-live commercial fishing grounds for the Central Coast Region in the year 2011.

本数据集隶属于生态信托（Ecotrust）的一项研究项目，项目名称为《建立基线并评估加利福尼亚中部海岸商业与CPFV渔业的空间及社会经济变化》。该项目是"加利福尼亚中部海岸海洋保护区（Marine Protected Area，MPA）基线监测项目"的组成部分，旨在刻画自MPA实施以来中部海岸区域的生态与社会经济状况及其变化。本次研究的中部海岸区域北起鸽子角（Pigeon Point），南至康塞普申角（Point Conception）。本数据集包含2012年春季开展的渔业测绘访谈所采集的数据，访谈对象为2011年在加利福尼亚中部海岸开展近岸有鳍活鱼手钓作业且有渔获上岸的商业渔民。随后通过聚合流程整合访谈结果：以每位受访渔民2011年的近岸有鳍活鱼渔获量为权重，核算其对各自近岸有鳍活鱼捕捞海域的赋值。本数据集呈现了2011年中部海岸区域近岸有鳍活鱼商业捕捞海域的空间范围与相对价值。
