NOAA Fisheries, Southeast Fisheries Science Center, annually
collects socioeconomic data from commercial fishermen in the Gulf of

socioeconomic analyses in support of management of the shrimp fishery

fishermen will be impacted by and respond to federal regulation likely
to be considered by fishery managers.
