Shrimp Fishermen Surveyed: NOAA Tracks Gulf Economics Annually
Published Date: 6/6/2025
Notice
Summary
NOAA is asking shrimp fishers in the Gulf and South Atlantic to keep sharing their economic info through an annual survey. This helps manage shrimp fishing rules fairly and keeps the fishery healthy. About 650 permit holders will spend less than an hour each year on this, with no new costs or changes, just a continuation of the current process.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Annual shrimp-permit survey continues
If you hold a Federal Gulf or South Atlantic shrimp permit, NOAA is extending an annual economic survey you are required to complete. About 650 permit holders will respond each year, with an average response time of 0.75 hours and a total annual burden of 488 hours (OMB Control Number 0648-0591).
Data used for shrimp fishery management
NOAA will use the collected revenue, cost, and capital investment data to conduct economic analyses under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act to assess how shrimp fishers will be impacted by and respond to federal regulations. The data are intended to support fair management and help keep the fishery healthy.
