California State Commercial Landings and CPFV Logbook Data

This data package include California state commercial fisheries landings and commercial passenger fishing vessel (CPFV) logbook data from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW). The data contained in this data package were obtained under a non-disclosure agreement with the CDFW. Summaries of the commercial fisheries landings data and CPFV logbook data were developed in collaboration with CDFW staff using commercial landings receipt data and CPFV trip logbook data contained in the CDFW’s Commercial Fisheries Information System (CFIS) database. The non-disclosure agreement requires that all confidential CDFW data provided to the public be summarized so as not to disclose the individual record or business of any person. Following instructions from CDFW staff, all data points consisting of fewer than three commercial fishermen or CPFV operators were suppressed to protect individual information.
