Greater Atlantic Regional Fisheries Office, 2024: Sector Information Data Set, https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/inport/item/17139.
Full Citation Examples

Abstract

Fishing sectors were established in the Greater Atlantic region in 2010 under catch share management initiatives. Sector data kept at GARFO is mostly a collection of other fishing trip related datasets consolidated into a secure (password protected) web data portal used by sector managers. These datasets would include various trip reports, trip start and end hails, vms declarations, observer reports, etc. The data portal is called SIMM (Sector Information Management Module). There is one component of the data that is not derivative, and that is the sector comparison reports, which help a sector to compare data that they have submitted with data that GARFO has collected.

Distribution Information

No Distributions available.

Access Constraints:

Access is restricted to personnel authorized in accordance with NOAA Administrative Order 216-100. A signed non-disclosure agreement must be on file for all authorized personnel. The IRM help desk or APSD Data Request staff are the POC for non-disclosure forms.

Access Information

Security Class: Sensitive
Security Classification System:

All fishing industry related data managed by IRM is considered to be business confidential and may not be released without written consent of the data originator.

Data Access Procedure:

Access to data is governed by 50CFR600 - Confidentiality of Information. Access by state fishery management agency staff and Fisheries Management Council staff may be allowed through Memorandum of Understanding that are signed by the Greater Atlantic Regional Administrator and Directors of the State Agency or Councils that describe the need and uses of the data and list the individuals who will have access to the data. Contractors may be granted access provided they are working under contract to NOAA or a cooperating partner (state, Council, Commission) on a specific project under the oversight of a partner.

Data Access Constraints:

Access is restricted to personnel authorized in accordance with NOAA Administrative Order 216-100. A signed non-disclosure agreement must be on file for all authorized personnel. The IRM help desk or APSD Data Request staff are the POC for non-disclosure forms.

Quality Control Procedures Employed:

GARFO has established an "industry data investigation" (IDI) team whose responsibility is to investigate and correct data errors on GARFO's critical datasets including vessel trip reports, dealer reports, and various associated fishing activity reports. This includes the QAQC of sector submitted data and the datasets collected by GARFO that feed SIMM. QC on these datasets is performed regularly since data is securely displayed on various web portals (such as SIMM) to its owners. JIRA is the tool used for tracking quality control.

Data Management

Have Resources for Management of these Data Been Identified?: Yes
Approximate Percentage of Budget for these Data Devoted to Data Management: Unknown
Do these Data Comply with the Data Access Directive?: Yes
Is Access to the Data Limited Based on an Approved Waiver?: Yes
If Distributor (Data Hosting Service) is Needed, Please Indicate: Not needed
Approximate Delay Between Data Collection and Dissemination: 24 hours
Actual or Planned Long-Term Data Archive Location: NCEI-MD
Approximate Delay Between Data Collection and Archiving: None
How Will the Data Be Protected from Accidental or Malicious Modification or Deletion Prior to Receipt by the Archive?:

Access to this data is tightly controlled. Most access is read-only. Write access is given only after data owners have authorized (accompanied by a signed NDA), and data is usually edited via an access controlled application. Data is QAQC'd on a regular basis by authorized personnel, and backed up both to disk and tape on a daily basis.

Lineage

Lineage Statement:

Trip data collected by GARFO, which is then displayed to SIMM for sector managers comes from a variety of sources, outlined in other Inport entries. Trip data which is collected from sector managers is uploaded by the managers via the SIMM interface. The upload allows for CSV and Excel format.
