Description

Abstract: In 1987, U.S. Department of Interior's Minerals Management Service (MMS) began a new proposed 5-Year Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Oil and Gas Leasing Program for mid-1987 through mid-1992. Proposed OCS Lease Sale 132 (off Oregon and Washington) was included in this 5-Year Program. The 5-Year Program requires preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement for each Lease Sale area. In 1988, the Minerals Management Service entered into a cooperative agreement with the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission (PSMFC) to develop fisheries information needed for the Lease Sale 132 Environmental Impact Statement. Under the cooperative agreement, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) was to develop quantitative and qualitative databases describing the major fisheries occurring off Oregon. This report documents the databases developed by ODFW. The databases developed by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife include: 1) Oregon groundfish trawl fishery summaries by block (1980 - 1989), 2) Oregon shrimp trawl fishery summaries by block (1980 - 1989), 3) Oregon scallop fishery summaries by block (1981 - 1985)' 4) Washington shrimp trawl fishery summaries by block (1985 - 1987), 5) Oregon salmon troll fishery by port (1979 - 1988), and 6) qualitative distributional maps of selected Oregon fisheries. This report documents the groundfish, shrimp, scallop, and salmon databases. The qualitative distributional information is summarized in the second section of this document. In addition to the information listed above, we provided MMS with summary information on commercial fish landings in Oregon. These data and associated documentation appear in ODFW's annual Pounds and Values reports (Brown, et al. 1981; Lukas and Carter 1982, 1983, 1984, 1985, 1986). Additional documentation of the early development of our database processing methods can be found in Starr and Saelens (1987) and Starr, et al. (1989).
