Endnotes1http://www.crescentcity.org, accessed 6/1/09.2Shore-based ocean, inland and river fisheries, clam digging and other collecting activities - bothtribal and nontribal - are also integral to the community and the region, but are beyond thescope of this report.3See Appendix C for methodological detail.4Data sources include the Pacific Fisheries Information Network (PacFIN) database, theCalifornia Recreational Fisheries Survey (CRFS) and Commercial Passenger FishingVessel (CPFV) logbooks.5The Battery Point Lighthouse was deactivated in 1965 and re-activated in 1982; the St. GeorgeReef Lighthouse was deactivated in 1975, and reactivated in 2002 (National Park Service2009a, b).6According to Trice (1960), the fish companies at that time included California ShellfishCompany, Paladini Fish Company, Tom Lazio Fish Company, and West Coast CrabCompany. Hallmark Fisheries and Meredith Seafood also operated at Crescent City aroundthat time.7See Appendix B for a glossary with definitions of this and other key terms used throughout thisreport.8http://www.dbw.ca.gov/PDF/Legis_Districts/Senate/SenDist04.pdf, accessed 6/11/10.9There was a fine line between the recreational and commercial fleets at this time, as manysummer salmon anglers would purchase a commercial license to enable them to catch morefish and/or sell some of their catch to offset expenses.10The tribal allocation was upheld in Parravano v. Babbitt, 70 F.3d 539 (9th Cir. 1995), cert.denied, 518 US. 1016 (1996).11The ‘spawner escapement floor’ is the minimum number of fish that are required to arrive at anatal stream or river to spawn, as identified in a management process.12See Ralston (2002) for a discussion of the biology of West Coast groundfish and how growingunderstanding of that biology affected PFMC management.13Pacific ocean perch, bocaccio and lingcod were declared overfished in 1999, canary rockfishand cowcod in 2000, darkblotched and widow rockfish in 2001, and yelloweye rockfish in2002. Lingcod was declared rebuilt in 2005.14Vessel monitoring systems are electronic transmitters placed on fishing vessels that transmitinformation about a vessel’s position to enforcement agencies via satellite to determine, forexample, whether a vessel is in a closed area (http://www.pcouncil.org/groundfish/gfvms.html, accessed 12/7/09).15http://www.dfg.ca.gov/licensing/pdffiles/cf_items_10yr.pdf, 4/30/10, accessed 6/4/10; http://www.dfg.ca.gov/licensing/commfishbus/nearshoreprovisions.html, accessed 6/4/10.Crescent City Fishing Community Profile 55
