Proposal to Conduct a Socioeconomic Analysis of the Atlantic Menhaden Commercial Bait and Reduction Fishery

In this project we will collect and analyze primary and secondary data, both quantitative and qualitative, from the U.S. Atlantic menhaden commercial and recreational fishery markets. The goal is to provide a document that characterizes the socioeconomic dimensions of menhaden fisheries stakeholders and can be used to support economic analysis of alternative menhaden allocations.
