Description

Abstract: This document updates the 2019 Commercial Nearshore Fishery Data Update (Rodomsky et al. 2020) with data and management details through 2020. For detailed narratives and summaries from previous years see “finfish reports” on the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife Marine Resources Program publications page. Oregon’s nearshore waters support a limited-entry commercial fishery that targets rocky reef associated groundfish species (Table 1). Here summarized, in tables and figures, are data from the 2020 commercial nearshore fishery including management goals, harvest specifications, fishing effort, landed poundage, nominal ex-vessel value, fishery-dependent biological data, and compliance with the commercial nearshore logbook requirement. Also included is a brief narrative on 2020 fishery management actions. To maintain individual confidentiality as some ports have small numbers of participating vessels, data from Garibaldi and Astoria are combined and presented in the Garibaldi port group, data from Depoe Bay and Newport are combined in the Newport port group, and data from Winchester Bay, Charleston and Bandon are combined in the Bandon port group. Although fishers sometimes use more than one gear type during a trip, landings in this document are summarized by the primary gear used during the trip that is recorded on Oregon commercial fish receiving tickets (fish tickets).
