CPFV - Final Report - Appendix Part 2

The primary goal of this project was to inform long-term MPA monitoring efforts by summarizing up-to-date information to illustrate historical trends, establish a MPA baseline, and assess initial changes since MPA implementation for the commercial passenger fishing vessel (CPFV) fleet in the South Coast region of California. To do so we utilized CPFV logbooks data from 2000 to 2012 obtained under a non-disclosure agreement with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. This data package includes the summarized CPFV logbook data from 2000-2012 and samples of the spatial data dervied from logbook data on the average number of anglers and number of fish caught during MPA (2000-2011) and post MPA (2012) year(s) at the region and port scale. Additionally we provide maps on the spatial change in the average number of anglers and fish caught between pre MPA and post MPA (2012) years at the region and port scale.
