• Description:
  This report summarizes data from the 2021 American Samoa small boat fishery cost-earnings survey. For this report, we define small boat fishing as fishing from vessels 50 ft in length and smaller for both commercial and non-commercial purposes. We exclude longliner vessels, alia longliners, and purse seiners. In total, we received survey responses from 33 individual small boat fishers: 73% from Tutuila and 27% from the Manuʻa Islands. A Lynker, LLC team in American Samoa conducted in-person interviews to collect the survey data from April to November 2021.
