“Unlike a lot of other economic data, commercial fishing data can change rapidly from year to year and especially in a five-year or more period. Changing regulations, changing ocean conditions, a lost market, and many other variables can drastically shift catch rates and price. Having updated information allows us and the community to better understand where the industry is at and what it is currently facing.”

— Lincoln County Commissioner Kaety Jacobson
