SRKW were listed as endangered in 2005. This study collected baseline data about the industry to be able to determine social impacts to the industry as a result of the SRKW listing. Primary data was collected, analyzed, and reported. Northwest Regional Office and Protected Species Office staff used some study results in an Environmental Assessment completed in 2011. This information will also be used to compare future data collections to measure social changes as a result of new vessel regulations. Primary qualitative/quantitative dataset.
