Groundfish Fleet Restructuring (GFR) - A Systems View
As part of the Groundfish Fleet Restructuring Information and Analysis Project, we are trying to understand what makes the fishery as a whole "tick" and how it relates to the natural environment as well as coastal communities. Based on input from our advisory council, we have developed a conceptual model for the fishery system, which now forms the basis for an exploratory dynamic model we are building with collaborators at Portland State University. This model will guide our analysis of various fleet reduction scenarios and how we might expect these to affect human and natural systems.
