When met adequately, those requirements allow better-informed conservation and management decisions on the use of living marine resources and marine habitat in federally managed fisheries. Obtaining these data improves the ability of NOAA Fisheries and the Regional Fishery Management Councils Councils to monitor, explain and predict changes in the economic performance and impacts of federally managed commercial fisheries.
Measures of economic performance include costs, earnings, and profitability net revenue; productivity and economic efficiency; capacity; economic stability; the level and distribution of net economic benefits to society; and market power. The economic impacts include sector, community or regionspecific, and national employment, sales, value-added, and income impacts.
Economic data are required to support more than a cursory effort to comply with or support the following laws, EOs, and NOAA Fisheries strategies and policies:
