Alaska OCS socioeconomic studies program. Technical report number 30. Northern and western Gulf of Alaska petroleum development scenarios: commercial fishing industry analysis. Final report
The objective of the report is to increase our understanding of the potential relationships between the commercial fishing and Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) petroleum industries and to project the potential impacts on the commercial fishing industry of the Gulf of Alaska that may occur as a result of the proposed OCS lease sales No. 46 and No. 55. To meet this objective, the report consists of: (1) the documentation and examination of the history and current trends of the Gulf of Alaska commercial fishing industry as necessary to develop a basis for projecting fishery development and potential interactions with the OCS petroleum industry, (2) the development of models used to forecast the level of commercial fishing industry activity through the year 2000 in the absence of OCS development pursuant to lease sales No. 46 and No. 55, and (3) an analysis of the potential impacts of lease sales No. 46 and No. 55 based on the hypothesized nature and magnitude of the activities of the commercial fishing and OCS petroleum industries. The study concentrates on the commercial fishing industry activities centered in Kodiak, Seward, Cordova, and Yakutat. Both the harvesting and processing sectors of the fishing industry are considered. The sources of impacts considered are the competition for labor, ocean space use, and the infrastructure.
