A5 – Action Plan

 Latest draft (version 2) was created January 2019.

 Likely not formally approved.  SFD Program Manager not identified.  PDT member list and action timeline outdated.

 An update (version 3) has been drafted.

 Preliminary review by Council and SFD staff.

PDT task:

 Review Draft

Version 3.

 Provide any edits to Rachel by December 2.

A5 – Committee tasking from May 2019

 PDT had provided # vessels, lbs landed, revenue for the

various wing and bait permit qualification criteria drafted by Advisory Panel.

 PDT tasked to provide:

 Skate trip/pounds landed frequencies by authorization code

(declaration).

 Distribution of skate trips, by the percentage of skate to

total revenues on those trips, also by authorization code.

5

slide-6
SLIDE 6

To get declarations, staff combined tables using “activity_code”

 Tried CFDERS_ALL_YEARS tables

 But duplicates found when combined with SKATE_DMIS_2007_2018.

 Tried JML_T_GRND_TRIPS_10-16 (v_md_dmis_2010to2016)

 But denied access.

 Tried T_SSB_CATCH_CURRENT tables

 Used these tables and SKATE_LAND_2007_2019.

slide-7
SLIDE 7

T_SSB_CATCH_CURRENT

 APSD supplied table: “SKATE_LANDINGS_2007_2019” with duplicates

identified and labeled.

 APSD and Council staff found in this table:

 Records that had landings 2 or 3 times what they should have been.  Bait and Wing codes reversed for some records.

 APSD provided new table; fixed multiples and mis-codes, but not

duplicates.

 Staff decided to remove duplicate records for data provided to Cte.

  • Oct. 22 AP mtg recap (no quorum)

 Considered PDT memos on:

 # of qualifying vessels based on draft wing qualification

criteria

 % of skates to total revenue on FY2017 skate trips.  Landings by authorization code on FY2017 skate trips.

 Input – PDT should:

 Continue developing bait qualification criteria, focusing

  • n Category X (vessels not meeting defined criteria)

 Further clarify fishery data.

10

slide-11
SLIDE 11
  • Oct. 22 Cte mtg recap

 Considered same PDT memos and AP input.  Felt that before determining qualification criteria, the

Committee needs to understand the data with activity codes (landings > possession limits, undeclared trips, additional years, etc.)

 Tasked the PDT with providing additional analyses to

better understand the fisheries and fishermen using the skate resource.

 Motion failed to work on bait qualification criteria.  Discussed need to clarify objectives/problem

statement before proceeding much farther.

A5 – Current PDT tasks

1.

Identify and resolve the source of duplicate records when presenting activity and program code data (remove trips under incidental limits and state only landings).

2.

Explain the large number of undeclared trips (especially for wings).

3.

Explain why wing landings exceed possession limits.

4.

Provide activity data by plan code and program code for years other than FY2017.

5.

Include the number of vessels when reporting activity by plan code and program code.

6.

Include average revenue on the qualification tables.

7.

Identify under which declaration(s) are trips that are using the gillnet large mesh exemption.

12

Correct or clarify data Provide additional data Correct or clarify data Goal: Finish tasking in time for Feb or Mar 2020 AP/Cte meetings. Doable?

slide-13
SLIDE 13

Strawman approach to Tasks 1-3. OK?

On 10/29, staff met to develop an approach to correcting and clarifying data and a plan for preliminary work to bring to PDT (today). Steps:

1.

Focus on improving FY2017 wing data first.

2.

Work to ensure duplicates are removed from the data.

3.

For the undeclared trips:

A.

Ensure state landings are excluded.

B.

Within the federal, undeclared trips:

1.

Identify gear type used. Are there any trips using gear that would explain (e.g., trap would likely be the lobster fishery).

2.

Identify the other species landed to determine if these trips are targeting fisheries that do not have a VTR requirement. Landing port or state may help too.

3.

Identify if the trips should have declared into a fishery (e.g., landed >500 lbs of gf or mnk). If so, what was the timing relative to the FY17 Dec-Apr closure and GARFO reminder to fishery?

4.

Provide wing data for FY2012 (A3 implemented in 2010), FY2015 (reported in recent frameworks), FY2018 (latest and “clean”).

5.

Work on bait data.

13

  • > Staff developed procedure (slide 20), but results are not

equating to state landings in NMFS skate accounting reports

  • elsewhere. Help needed.
  • > The data APSD have provided do not have gear or landing port or home port.
  • > Staff developed procedure (slide

14). Is it OK? Help needed.

Task 1 - Identify and resolve the source of duplicate records when presenting activity and program code data.

14

 Started with APSD supplied table, labelled with codes for duplicates,

SKATE_LANDINGS_2007_2019_codes_v2 (v2 added REVENUE, +fixes)

 Frequencies show duplicates contain only four NESPP4 codes:

 3660 = Little skate, unclassified  3661 = Little skate, wings  3670 = Winter (Big) skate, unclassified  3671 = Winter (Big) skate, wings

 Other evidence includes LIVE=LANDED weight and price  Used NESPP4 value to recode DISPOSITON_CODE:

 If NESPP4 codes 3661 and 3671 then Wing (‘001’)  If NESPP4 codes 3660 and 3670 then Bait (‘008’)

 Sum LANDED, POUNDS, REVENUE by trip using new DISPOSITON_CODE  FY2017, there were 480 records (240 wing and 240 bait) that were duplicated (960

total).

PDT Question: Is the procedure for correcting duplicate records in Skate_Land_2007_2019 acceptable? Does APSD want to adopt this or develop its own for future use?

slide-15
SLIDE 15

Removed trips under incidental limit

 Start with new dataset SKATES_LAND_2017_fixdup, which adds corrected

duplicate records (480)

 For Wings only include LANDED > 500 lbs.  For Bait only include POUNDS > 5,000 lbs.

 note: the new bait incidental limit of 8,000 lbs. (FW 6) was not implemented until

March 2018.

 FY 2017 results (trips over incidental limit):

LANDED POUNDS REVENUE WINGS 7,843,137 16,531,052 $3,394,499 BAIT 9,504,356 9,535,852 $1,062,106

Task 2 - Explain the large number of undeclared trips

20

 Step 1 (see Slide 13) = identify any state landings and remove.  Tried using TSSB data selecting for Fishery_group=’STATE’.

 First filtered out/compiled all state data for FY2017 and FY2018 using two approaches:

Specific months between the years (after Apr 30 and before May 1).

First four characters of TRIP_ID (the FY but depends on how determined.).  Totals for FY2017 much higher than values in APSD Skate Accounting Tables (used for annual monitoring

reports, for ‘Northeast skate state-permitted only vessel landings), closer for FY2018.

 TSSB has activity codes but not disposition code (wing and bait). Would need to match with a database with

disposition codes to and pull out any state landings on undeclared trips and identify them as wing and bait. Year Data Source/Approach Landings FY2017 TSSB Trip ID 3,615,348 TSSB Months 3,615,253 APSD Skate Accounting Tables 1,752,206 FY2018 TSSB Trip ID 1,542,792 TSSB Months 1,543,123 APSD Skate Accounting Tables 1,268,820  Not done yet.  Confirm if approach is valid first.

Are we identifying state trips correctly? Results are a close match. Preferred approach?

slide-21
SLIDE 21

Task 2 - Explain the large number of undeclared trips

21

 How does APSD identify state landings (i.e. using TripID, Fishery Group, etc.) so we’re

consistent?

 How should state-only landings be removed for undeclared trips?

 Can Fishery_Group in T_SSB_CATCH_CURRENT be used?

 How can we identify the disposition codes?  If so, for what years is Fishery_Group useable?

 Alternatively, should state trips be filtered with Federal Permit data?

 Trips must fall between start and end date. For trip data, use Dealer date, Trip

date, or other?

 Staff can do this currently.

Task 3 - Explain why wing landings exceed possession limits.

Undeclared Wing Trips, FY2017

  • 31 of the 36 trips >4,100 lbs. have

DLR_LIVE = LANDED values.  Should these be recoded as bait?

  • The other 5 trips >4,100 lbs. have

DLR_LIVE almost exactly 2.27 x the LANDED value and have low $/lb.  Assume these are wing and are

  • ver the 4,100 lb. possession limit?

Enforcement issue? NOTE: These data do not specifically exclude state landings. Landings Categories Total Pounds Unique Trips Unique Permit Numbers ≤ 500 lbs. 158,027 1,961 188 501-2,600 lbs. 220,372 174 3 2,600-4,100 lbs. 96,248 29 8 >4,100 lbs. 533,464 36 4

Task 7 - Identify under which declaration(s) are trips that are using the gillnet large mesh exemption.

24

 The extra large mesh gillnet trips by groundfish sector vessels are not

identified by VMS declaration but by ‘Multispecies Trip Start Hail’.

 During at-sea enforcement, large mesh gillnet trips are identified by the

LOA once aboard (are these just bait trips then?)

 Is the “gillnet large mesh exemption” the same as the “Extra Large Mesh

Gillnet” option in the Southern New England and/or Inshore Georges Band Broad Stock Areas?

 How is it coded and in what tables is it recorded?
