Description:This report describes the continuous economic data collection programs established by the Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center (PIFSC) for the small boat fisheries in American Samoa, Guam, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), and presents trends in economic performance indicators for these fisheries. This information was derived from analyses of the data collected through these programs from 2009 (American Samoa and the CNMI) and 2011 (Guam) to 2017. These data collection programs fulfill the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA) requirements that conservation and management measures shall take into account the importance of fishery resources to fishing communities by utilizing economic data (16 U.S.C. 1851(a)(8)). These data collection programs are therefore vital to providing fundamental economic information for the management of fisheries in these areas.
