27519 Socio-economic Survey of Commercial Fishing Crew in the Northeast Data Set Published / External 23091 surveys Project Completed The Northeast Fisheries Science Center's Social Sciences Branch (SSB) completed a survey of crew, including hired captains, participating in commercial fisheries in the New England and Mid-Atlantic regions. The purpose of the survey effort was to collect data that would contribute to the development of fisheries performance measures, with a emphasis on collecting data for social performance measures in the areas of governance, stewardship, and well-being. The survey began in October 2012 and concluded in 2013. Commercial fishing vessel crew were intercepted at several selected fishing ports from the region, and asked to participate in the survey. Participating crew members were interviewed orally using a standardized set of survey questions, with the interview entering the crew member's responses on a hand held tablet. By the close of the survey, 400 interviews were completed. face to face interviews Theme crew Theme fishermen Theme interviews Temporal 2012-2013 Spatial Northeast US NEFSC Woods Hole Lab Woods Hole MA USA Data Set MS Excel Table (digital) n/a n/a n/a 36248 Data Published / External Completed Raw variables for the Crew Survey Data File Yes Raw variables for the Crew Survey 1 Q1_1 CHARACTER No No Active Most important fishery CHARACTER 2 Q1_1_OTH CHARACTER No No Active Most important fishery - other CHARACTER 3 Q1_2 CHARACTER No No Active Second most important fishery CHARACTER 4 Q1_2_OTH CHARACTER No No Active Second most important fishery - other CHARACTER 5 Q1_3 CHARACTER No No Active Third most important fishery CHARACTER 6 Q1_3_OTH CHARACTER No No Active Third most important fishery - other CHARACTER 7 Q2_RESP CHARACTER No No Active Why do you consider it to be your primary fishery?
