Attributes of communities-at-sea, including the size of servicesheds and climate change risk exposure scores, determined from Vessel Trip Report (VTR) data for commercial fishing trips from 1996 to 2014

<p>Communities-at-sea are peer-groups of vessels which share a gear type and are associated with a particular port (e.g., vessels from New Bedford, MA that use gillnets). For vessels using trawl gear, small and large trawlers are considered separate communities according to vessel length (&lt;&gt; 65 feet). We used Vessel Trip Report (VTR) data for commercial fishing trips from 1996 to 2014, as reported by vessel captains, to determine the at-sea "servicesheds" or customary fishing grounds of communities.</p>

海洋社区是由共享同一种渔具的船舶组成的同侪群体，它们与特定港口（例如，使用刺网的新贝德福德，马萨诸塞州）相联系。对于使用拖网渔具的船舶，根据船舶长度（不等于65英尺）将小型和大型拖网渔船视为独立的社区。我们利用了1996年至2014年间由船长上报的商业捕鱼航次报告（Vessel Trip Report，简称VTR）数据，以确定海洋社区的‘服务区域’或惯例渔场。
