Wednesday, November 18 |
| 8:30 – 8:45 | Recap and objectives for Day 2 | Rita Curtis |
| 8:45 – 9:45 | Discussion: What should drive the choice of performance measures (e.g., objectives of individual catch share programs, MSA requirements, budget initiative objectives, the data we have, the data we should have, what is simple, and what we should be keeping track of)? | Session moderator: Joe Terry |
| 9:45 – 10:45 | Breakout Group Discussions: Potential performance measures for catch share programs Each of two groups will be asked to answer three questions for a group-specific set of six to seven specific generic performance measures. The three questions are: a. How will we define it? b. How will we estimate it? c. What are the data needs / data gaps and model needs / model gaps The potential performance measures include the following: - Fleets rationalized (e.g., number of active vessels)
- Season Length (e.g., days fishery open or days with either fishing or landings)
- Revenue per unit effort (e.g., per boat)
- Landings per unit effort (e.g., per boat)
- Lease price (some regions use quota price or allocation price instead of lease price for the price of buying quota for a given year)
- Share price (price of the ongoing privilege to receive annual quota or allocation)
- Lease or share price to ex-vessel price
- OFL, ACL, and/or ACT overages / underages
- Profits (with or without fixed costs and for harvesting and processing sectors?)
- Safety at sea (e.g., number of fatalities)
- Employment (e.g., total annual fishermen days or total annual fishermen days / crew positions)
- Well being (e.g., at community level, unemployment rate / at household level, % families with both spouses present / at individual level, job satisfaction)
- Resilience (e.g., at community level, occupational diversity / at household level, education achieved / at individual level, available support systems)
