Distance from Shore is a common element in determining fishing area and jurisdiction. Codes indicate range of nautical miles from shore within which fishing occurred.
To provide a lookup for distance from shore coding in the ALS.
New codes and descriptions were added 4/9/2013.
Coding in this field is inconsistent.
• North Carolina – some apparent typos in 1964, in use from 1972-present. South Atlantic Shrimp has distance from 1978-1992.
• South Carolina – some apparent typos in 1964 and 1970. In use from 1972 – present. South Atlantic Shrimp have distance data from 1979-2000.
• Georgia – some apparent typos in 1964. In use from 1972 – present. South Atlantic shrimp have distance from 1978-2000.
• Florida – In Florida annual canvass data 1976-1996. In Florida South Atlantic shrimp from 1981-1992. No distance data after 1996.
• Alabama – some apparent typos in 1964. In use from 1973-2001.
• Mississippi – In use from 1973-2015
• Louisiana – In use from 1973-1993. Louisiana Menhaden (MN) from 1995-1997.
• Texas – From 1972-1977 and from 1984-1992.
• Gulf Shrimp (whichone=’GS’) None.
Distance from shore data for ALS is primarily obtained through fishery-dependent data collection.
