Stock status affects catch limits established by the Council, which in turn may affect landings trends. Summed across all MAFMC managed species, total Acceptable Biological Catch or Annual Catch Limits (ABC or ACL) have been relatively stable 2012-2020 (top). With the addition of blueline tilefish management in 2017, an additional ABC and ACL contribute to the total 2017-2020. Discounting blueline tilefish, the recent total ABC or ACL is lower relative to 2012-2013, with much of that decrease due to declining Atlantic mackerel ABC. Nevertheless, the percentage caught for each stock’s ABC/ACL suggests that these catch limits are not generally constraining as most species are well below the 1/1 ratio (bottom). Therefore, stock status and associated management constraints are unlikely to be driving decreased landings for the majority of species. --- ## Implications: Mid Atlantic Seafood Production Drivers .pull-left[ Biomass does not appear to drive landings trends <img src="20230119_SOEoverview_Gaichas_files/figure-html/unnamed-chunk-10-1.png" width="576" style="display: block; margin: auto;" /> .contrib[ Key: Black = NEFSC survey; <p style="color:#FF6A6A;">Red = NEAMAP survey</p> ] ] .pull-right[ .contrib[ * Declining managed benthos, aggregate planktivores <img src="20230119_SOEoverview_Gaichas_files/figure-html/unnamed-chunk-11-1.png" width="324" style="display: block; margin: auto;" /> * Recreational drivers differ: shark fishery management, possibly survey methodology Monitor: * climate risks including warming, ocean acidification, and shifting distributions * ecosystem composition and production changes * fishing engagement ] ] ??? Because stock status is mostly acceptable, ABCs don't appear to be constraining for many stocks, and aggregate biomass trends appear stable, the decline in commercial landings is most likely driven by market dynamics affecting the landings of surfclams and ocean quahogs, as quotas are not binding for these species. Climate change also seems to be shifting the distribution of surfclams and ocean quahogs, resulting in areas with overlapping distributions and increased mixed landings. Given the regulations governing mixed landings, this could become problematic in the future and is currently being evaluated by the Council. --- ## Objective: New England Seafood production ![:img decreasing arrow icon, 2%](https://github.com/NOAA-EDAB/presentations/raw/master/docs/EDAB_images/decrease.png) ![:img below average icon icon, 2%](https://github.com/NOAA-EDAB/presentations/raw/master/docs/EDAB_images/below long term ave.png) .pull-left[ Indicators: Commercial landings <img src="20230119_SOEoverview_Gaichas_files/figure-html/unnamed-chunk-14-1.png" width="504" style="display: block; margin: auto;" /> .contrib[ Key: Black = Landings of all species combined; <p style="color:#FF6A6A;">Red = Landings of NEFMC managed species</p> ] ] .pull-right[ Indicators: Recreational harvest <br /> <img src="20230119_SOEoverview_Gaichas_files/figure-html/unnamed-chunk-15-1.png" width="504" style="display: block; margin: auto;" /> <img src="20230119_SOEoverview_Gaichas_files/figure-html/unnamed-chunk-16-1.png" width="504" style="display: block; margin: auto;" /> ] Multiple drivers: ecosystem and stock production, management, market conditions (including COVID-19 disruptions), and environmental change ??? Although scallop decreases are partially explained by a decreased TAC, analyses suggest that the drop in landings is at least partially due to market disruptions due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Changes in recreational fleet diversity can be considered when managers seek options to maintain recreational opportunities. Shore anglers will have access to different species than vessel-based anglers, and when the same species, typically smaller fish. Many states have developed shore-based regulations where the minimum size is lower than in other areas and sectors to maintain opportunities in the shore angling sector. --- ## Objective: New England Recreational opportunities ![:img no trend icon, 2%](https://github.com/NOAA-EDAB/presentations/raw/master/docs/EDAB_images/no trend.png) ![:img near average icon icon, 1%](https://github.com/NOAA-EDAB/presentations/raw/master/docs/EDAB_images/near long term average.png) .pull-left[ Indicators: Recreational effort and fleet diversity <img src="20230119_SOEoverview_Gaichas_files/figure-html/unnamed-chunk-35-1.png" width="504" style="display: block; margin: auto;" /> <img src="20230119_SOEoverview_Gaichas_files/figure-html/unnamed-chunk-36-1.png" width="504" style="display: block; margin: auto;" /> ] .pull-right[ Implications * Absence of a long-term trend in recreational effort suggests relative stability in the overall number of recreational opportunities in New England ] --- ## Objective: Mid Atlantic Environmental Justice and Social Vulnerability   Risk element: <span style="background-color:yellow;">Social</span> Indicators: Environmental justice vulnerability, commercial fishery engagement and reliance .pull-left[ <img src="20230119_SOEoverview_Gaichas_files/figure-html/unnamed-chunk-38-1.png" width="468" style="display: block; margin: auto;" /> Mid-Atlantic commercial fishing communities ] .pull-right[ <img src="20230119_SOEoverview_Gaichas_files/figure-html/unnamed-chunk-39-1.png" width="100%" style="display: block; margin: auto;" /> <!--![Commercial fishing communities environmental justice spider plot](https://github.com/NOAA-EDAB/presentations/raw/master/docs/EDAB_images//EJ_Commercial_MAB.png)--> ] Implications: Highlighted communities may be vulnerable to changes in fishing patterns due to regulations and/or climate change.

Some communities have environmental justice concerns and gentrification vulnerability. * Up to Y% of annual commercial landings and revenue for Mid-Atlantic species occur in lease areas. * Development will affect species differently, negatively affecting species that prefer soft bottom habitat while potentially benefiting species that prefer hard structured habitat. * Planned wind areas overlap with one of the only known right whale foraging habitats, and altered local oceanography could affect right whale prey availability. Development also brings increased vessel strike risk and the potential impacts of pile driving noise. ] .pull-right[] ???
