CPFV - Change in Number of Anglers Targeting All Fisheries from All Ports Map

These data depict the spatial change in the number of anglers and number of fish caught in CPFV fishing grounds. The data were created by calculating the difference between the annual average number of anglers/fish caught from 2000-2011 (pre-MPAs) and the total number of anglers/fish caught in 2012 (post-MPAs). Specifically, the data were produced by subtracting the post-MPA values from the pre-MPA value (x = post MPA - pre MPA). In this dataset the areas with positive values are areas where the post-MPA fishing relative values are greater than the pre-MPA relative values, thus an increase in the number of anglers/fish caught from 2000-2011 and 2012. This dataset represents the spatial change in the number of anglers for lingcod, rockfish, miscellaneous coastal, and miscellaneous offshore CPFV fishing grounds for the South Coast Region.
