ABSTRACT
Locally
based pelagic fisheries in the Commonwealth of the Northern
Mariana Islands have not developed to fully utilize the
200-mile EEZ, nor have they achieved harvest levels of formerly
operating foreign fleets. This assessment provides the results
of economic research focused on determining why domestic
pelagic fisheries have not developed. The study utilizes
an intercept interview methodology to obtain input from
fishermen and assess profitability of the existing fisher.
Investigative research is used to assess whether labor conditions,
markets, infrastructure, regulations, and the availability
of finance are constraining development. Conclusions are
made on the potential for expansion within the existing
fishery as well as on the potential for development of larger-scale
pelagic fisheries.
