Description

Abstract: Oregon’s nearshore waters support a limited-entry commercial fishery that targets rocky reef associated groundfish species. This document summarizes the 2014 commercial nearshore fishery including management goals, harvest specifications, fishing effort, landed poundage, ex-vessel value, fishery-dependent biological data, and compliance with the commercial nearshore logbook program requirement. In addition, harvest specifications for the 2014 season are detailed. Because 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 to maintain individual confidentiality. 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 the commercial fish receiving ticket (hereafter, fish ticket).
