Description

Abstract: This document updates the 2020 Commercial Nearshore Fishery Data Update (Rodomsky et al. 2021) with data and management details through 2022. Detailed narratives and summaries from previous years can be found on the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife’s Marine Resources Program’s Publications page under “Finfish Reports”. Oregon’s nearshore waters support a limited-entry commercial fishery that targets rocky reef associated groundfish species (Table 1). Data from the 2021 and 2022 commercial nearshore fishery are summarized here, 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. A brief description of 2021 and 2022 fishery management actions is also included. As several ports have only a few participating vessels, data from Garibaldi and Astoria are combined into the Garibaldi port group, data from Depoe Bay and Newport are combined into the Newport port group, and data from Winchester Bay, Charleston, and Bandon are combined into the Bandon port group to maintain individual confidentiality. While fishers sometimes use more than one gear type during a fishing 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).
