Community-based Subsistence Fishing Practitioner Survey

"The Community-based Subsistence Fishing Practitioner (CBSFP) survey is a voluntary social survey designed to help communities collect any necessary information to support the designation, evaluation, and adaptive management of CBSFAs. The CBSFP survey was developed as tool to help subsistence fishing practitioners communicate their place-based knowledge about the conditions of resources and management needs without requiring them to divulge sensitive traditional observational methodologies and ways of knowing acquired through years of observation and experience. The CBSFP survey gathers qualitative information from subsistence fishers and ocean gatherers with long time knowledge and experience gained through time spent fishing in an area, and communicates this place-based knowledge of marine resource conditions, uses, and management needs in a way for agency decision making and public outreach"
