• Description:
  "In the spring of 2010, a telephone survey was conducted of Northeast Multispecies (groundfish) permit holders. The primary purpose of the survey was to develop a baseline of social capital in the groundfish fishery and to document attitudes toward the current management system based on days at sea and the new system based on sector allocations. A total of 542 permit holders were interviewed including 300 who are currently active in the groundfish fishery (over 50% of active permit holders). The survey results suggest that a high degree of social capital exists in the industry as a whole. It also revealed that permit holders in the groundfish fishery are generally dissatisfied with the current fishery management system and there remains substantial trepidation about the new sector system"--Abstract.
