Description:How changes in the ecosystem affect the abundance, distribution, and condition of marine
species is of great interest to commercial and recreational fishers, managers, conservation
groups, and the broader public. In this year’s report, we present new analyses that describe
how shifts in the abundance and distribution of important groundfish make them more
available to some fishing ports and less available to others. These patterns of changing
availability can be compared to other metrics we are tracking, such as the amount of
bottom fishing effort occurring in an area, the fleet diversification of a region, or social and
economic vulnerability of different coastal communities. These measures that connect
environmental conditions and shifting target species populations to human activities and
wellbeing may assist PFMC in achieving objectives under its “Climate and Communities
Initiative,” being undertaken to better understand how climate variability and climate
change affect fish populations, and thereby affect coastal communities that rely on fishing
as part of their economic, social and cultural wellbeing.
