The Dilemma of Derelict Gear: Datasets

Scheld, Andrew M.
Bilkovic, Donna M.
Havens, Kirk J.
Abstract
DDG_Data.csv: This file contains data used to estimate a statistical harvest model and evaluate the economic impacts of the Virginia Marine Debris Removal Program. The following variables are included: annual observations of blue crab harvests and effort by management area; annual blue crab abundance estimates; derelict pot removals by management area and year (2009-2014). Variable definitions: management area/waterbody (WB); year (YEAR); lbs of harvest (LBS); pots used in harvest (POTS); number of crab (CRAB); derelict pot removals (RMVS). DDG_TLModel.R: This file contains R code used to estimate a translog production model of blue crab harvest which incorporates derelict gear removals. Also included is code to perform a semi-parametric bootstrap of model parameters and estimate mean harvest effects resulting from derelict gear removals. The file can be opened in a variety of text editors and should be executed within the R software environment (www.r-project.org).
