Excludes all other forms of fishing.\n\nCommercial fishing with benthic mobile gear occurs mainly on the offshore portion of the continental shelf between 20-700 fathoms. This includes fishing for pink shrimp along the rocky edge of the shelf and around muddy, soft bottom areas; halibut trolling concentrated around 30-180 fathoms; black cod and groundfish between 60-700 fathoms; sole or flatfish between 20-700 fathoms. \n\nTribal uses of the ocean were not mapped explicitly, though tribal chairs and/or their designated representatives were formally invited by BOEM to participate in the mapping workshops. The sharing of tribal use information was dependent upon each tribe\u2019s determination of whether the mapping workshops were an appropriate forum for sharing such information. Any tribal use information shared during the workshops was incorporated into the defined use categories. Thus, the atlas data and map products do not explicitly depict tribal use.", "summary": "", "title": "Commercial Fishing with Benthic Fixed Gear", "tags": [], "type": "", "typeKeywords": [], "thumbnail": "", "url": "", "minScale": "NaN", "maxScale": "NaN", "spatialReference": "", "accessInformation": "NOAA Coastal Services Center (CSC), Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), Washington State Department of Ecology", "licenseInfo": "", "portalUrl": "" }
