This report describes programs called buyback programs which buy back
fishing vessels and permits in limited access fisheries. The first objective
of the report is to survey buyback programs in various parts of the world to
glean lessons from the history of such attempts. The second part was to be a
case study of the current attempt at vessel buybacks in New England and would
relate other program experiences back to the New England experiment to
determine possible outcomes. Given the greater resistance in the U.S. to
governmental intervention and control, it is unlikely that the U.S. will have
better luck than other countries in conserving fishery resources via vessel
buybacks.

The results of an economic survey of small northeast fishing vessels
using otter trawl gear is described. The population consisted of 572 persons
who were holders of groundfish permits, had fishing vessels of 65 feet or
less, and who reported catches in New England using trawl gear in 1996. A 10
percent response rate was achieved from a mail survey of a questionnaire that
generated 35 usable responses from a probable population of 420 fishermen.
The results of our mail survey of small trawlers are presented in three sets
of tables and 2 figures. Each table summarizes quantitative data responses by
providing two or more measures of central tendency (the mean or average and
the median), and two measures of variability (the standard deviation and the
range).
