  • Session Presentation Abstract: Researchers from NOAA's SEFSC recently completed 8 months of research on the South Florida Yellowtail fishery. This included more than 50 informal interviews with commercial fishermen, recreational fishermen and dealers. We also conducted six focus group interviews, in addition to group interviews with Recreational Fishing Associations members. Our primary research focus related to issues of catch allocation. What we found surprised us as these fishermen, often financially, spatially and ideologically pitted against one another, shared many perspectives and often reached similar types of pragmatic and policy related solutions. This presentation demonstrates that future collaboration with “competing” sectors might actually be beneficial in policy development. ​
 
  • Poster Presentation Abstract: Determining Resilience in Cedar Key, Fort Myers Beach, and Conch Key: Fishing Industry Views on Sea Level Rise Risk and Adaptation. This study examined the fishing industry in three Florida coastal communities to determine how the fishing industry will adapt to accommodate sea-level rise. Respondents were shown maps of how sea-level rise will inundate their community over time and asked whether they would stay in their community, spend money adapting their household or business to sea-level rise, or if they would retreat and move inland. The findings from this study reveal that the individual decisions made by fishing industry members were highly contextual and were more influenced by the respondent's relationship with their community than individual social or economic factors
