This study examines the economic status, performance, and impacts of the Gulf of Mexico shrimp fishery in 2008. It presents preliminary results based on surveys conducted in the region, analyzing vessel averages, economic impacts, and extrapolations to the industry. The background details the challenges faced in collecting economic data and the new survey approach adopted to address these issues. The survey instrument used for both inshore and "federal" fleets is outlined, with a focus on balance sheets, cash flow statements, and income statements. Survey results provide insights into vessel characteristics, operations, and financial aspects, with extrapolations to the total shrimp harvesting sector in the Gulf fishery. The study aims to standardize results and trends, offering a comprehensive overview of the industry's economic landscape.

Economic Status, Performance, and Impacts of the Gulf of Mexico Shrimp Fishery in 2008Preliminary Results Christopher Liese Jack Isaacs Alex Miller NOAA Fisheries, Southeast Louisiana Department of Gulf States Marine Fisheries Science Center Wildlife and Fisheries Fisheries Commission Challenges of Natural Resource Economics and Policy 2010 New Orleans, Louisiana May 26-28, 2010
Outline Background Two 2008 Surveys Design, Population and Sampling, Implementation Survey Results: Vessel Averages Extrapolation to the Industry Economic Impacts
Background 1 • Economic data collections few and far between • Local/State; small samples; no statistical design; not repeated; hence generally not comparable • Difficult population to survey (2002/04 surveys): Texas Rest of Gulf
Background 2 New survey approach in 2007: Minimalist approach Collect “bread and butter” annual economic data Standardized across the region Regularly and timely Mail survey Produce an Annual Report for the federally-permitted Gulf shrimp industry
