<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW), collaboratively developed a combined fisheries data layer for select commercial and recreational fisheries and provided this to NOAA’s National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS) for BOEM’s consideration in the spatial model developed by NCCOS for BOEM’s OR Call Areas and proposed Wind Energy Area (WEA) designation. Nine fisheries were identified for inclusion in the model: groundfish bottom trawl, at-sea hake mid-water trawl, shoreside hake mid-water trawl, pink shrimp trawl, groundfish fixed-gear pot, groundfish fixed-gear longline, commercial albacore, recreational charter albacore, and Dungeness crab pot fisheries. Additional fisheries were considered but time constraints and limited resolution of spatial data prevented their inclusion in the model. Data layers were created by combining effort and revenue data into a single ‘ranked importance’ value for grid cells in the Call Areas for each fishery. Both effort and revenue data were included in each, except for charter albacore and groundfish bottom trawl, which only used effort data. Overall, nine fisheries data layers were combined into a single composite data layer, and an additional data layer was created for the four trawl fisheries that operate within the Call Areas. BOEM selected a recommendation to overlay this ‘trawl fisheries’ data layer on top of the composite data layer for the final Fisheries Submodel map. </SPAN><A href="https://geoseas-public.geoplatform.gov:443/Documents/PAC/OR/Fisheries_NMFS_ODFW_data_Recs_for_NCCOS_Oregon_model_March_2023.pdf" target="_blank" STYLE="text-decoration:underline;"><SPAN>Click here </SPAN></A><SPAN>for a complete description and methods ODFW and NMFS used in the fisheries combined layer development. </SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Disclaimer for NMFS’ Role in NCCOS Offshore Wind Spatial Planning Work for BOEM: NCCOS is providing BOEM with technical assistance to support BOEM’s spatial planning in relation to offshore wind projects. This support is being provided with funding resources from NCCOS and through reimbursable support from BOEM to NCCOS. NMFS is providing technical assistance to NCCOS regarding available science (i.e. data layers and modeling methods) for BOEM’s consideration in their spatial modeling efforts. These efforts are supporting BOEM's ocean and coastal planning activities related to siting of call areas, wind energy areas, and transmission cable routing. The information provided by NMFS to NCCOS is purely technical in nature and does not reflect or constitute an official agency policy, position, or action. Official NMFS positions related to spatial planning for offshore wind activity will be submitted by NMFS through written comments to BOEM during the planning and review processes for each activity. </SPAN></P><P><SPAN /></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> |
