Description
- Abstract: This profile was created as a result of a collaborative research project conducted during 2010. The project was designed and implemented with the help of the fishing community working in partnership with scientists from the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) and Oregon State University (OSU).
The idea for this collaborative project originated with existing profiles developed by scientists at OSU for other fishing communities along the Oregon Coast. ODFW found these profiles to be very informative and helpful during the marine reserves process and wanted to continue this work for other fishing communities. Depoe Bay was the first community chosen and interviews with the fishing community were conducted by ODFW staff over the 2010 winter season. With the help of a resident liaison, twenty interviews were conducted with various members of the fishing community. Using a trusted and respected member of the community to assist with introducing the study to participants and scheduling interviews was a very successful method and will be attempted again with future profiles.
Each interview lasted between twenty minutes to one and a half hours and was conducted by a single ODFW scientist. The interviews were transcribed and then analyzed by an ODFW scientist. Participants were chosen in two ways; 1) their name was given to ODFW by other members of the fishing community as a recognized member of the community and someone we should interview; and 2) because they fell into one of our preset categories associated with fishing in Depoe Bay. These categories ranged from full-time charter fisherman to dockside worker to fisherman’s wife.
This profile has eight sections and each section contains a summary of the perspectives and information provided through the interviews conducted in Depoe Bay. Some verbatim comments have been included to give more depth and color to the profile but no identities have been revealed. The eight sections laid out in this profile are:
o Importance of Fishing to the Community of Place
o Characteristics of Fishing Community Members and their Families
o Boundaries: Connection between the Fishing Community and the Community of Place
o Communication within the Fishing Community and between the Fishing Community and Others
o Perspectives on Management and Effects of Management
o Change in Fishing and Seafood: Economics and Fishing Effort
o Perceptions of the State of the Ocean and its Resources
o Perceptions of the Future
This profile has been reviewed by interview participants for accuracy and clarity.
