United States fisheries scientists and policymakers are currently debating a variety of marine spatial planning and other resource allocation measures designed to better manage the nation's fisheries. At a smaller-scale, regional level individual fishermen are engaged in debates between ocean resources and political opinions. These debates have tangible consequences for fishers and for the wider public. In the Carteret County area of North Carolina a lengthy commercial fishing history has witnessed a steep decline, matched by a simultaneous rise in recreational fishing activity. This has created socioeconomic tensions and political disagreements between the two groups, who often target the same fishing areas. Concern about fishery resources and policies arises not only from commercial fishers anxious about their livelihoods but also from consumers concerned about the environmental sustainability of imported seafood. This confluence of issues has led to the creation of several community-supported fisheries (CSFs) in the Northeast and most recently one in North Carolina. Doctoral student Noelle Boucquey at Duke University, under the supervision of Dr. Lisa Campbell will examine the decline of the fisheries in Carteret County in North Carolina. In this case study the historic changes in fishing patterns and debates will be documented, contemporary fishing narratives and commercial-recreational user group conflicts will be examined, and the symbolic and practical functions of a community-supported fishery program will be probed. This study will collect archived text and imagery data for the historical analysis and will collect ethnographic, in-depth interviews, maps, and photographic data for the contemporary components of the project. Project results are expected to help identify underlying sources of conflict among different fishers, and will provide strategies for better management of fishery resources and their users.The results of the project will help model the relationships between fishers of different types and will help answer questions about how different groups negotiate access to marine common-pool resources. The project will also provide a timely analysis of a relatively new phenomenon in fisheries, the community-supported fishery (CSF), which will allow for fruitful comparisons to be made with analogous community-supported agriculture (CSA) programs. The project's evaluation of the successes and failures of the CSF model will also offer practical insights into a particular fish harvesting and marketing regime. In current State legislative debates about specific marine species, there are real implications for how resources are to be allocated amongst different groups. Assuring the most equitable division of such resources requires the type of thorough ethnographic, historically-situated information this project will provide. This project will provide a basis for the types of fishery regulations that might be successful for managing fisheries at regional and national scales.

美国渔业科学家和决策者目前正在就各种海洋空间规划和其他资源分配措施进行辩论，这些措施旨在更好地管理美国的渔业。在较小规模的区域一级，个别渔民参与了海洋资源和政治观点之间的辩论。这些争论对渔民和广大公众都有切实的影响。在北卡罗来纳州的卡特雷特县地区，长期的商业捕鱼历史见证了急剧下降，与此同时，休闲捕鱼活动也在增加。这在两个群体之间造成了社会经济紧张和政治分歧，他们经常瞄准相同的捕鱼区。对渔业资源和渔业政策的关注不仅来自担心生计的商业渔民，也来自关注进口海产品环境可持续性的消费者。这些问题交织在一起，导致在东北部和最近在北卡罗来纳州建立了几个社区支持渔业（CSFs）。杜克大学的博士生Noelle Boucquey将在Lisa Campbell博士的指导下研究北卡罗来纳州卡特雷特县渔业的衰退。在本案例研究中，将记录渔业模式和辩论的历史变化，审查当代渔业叙述和商业-娱乐用户群体冲突，并探讨社区支持渔业方案的象征和实际功能。这项研究将收集存档的文本和图像数据，用于历史分析，并将收集人种志、深度访谈、地图和摄影数据，用于项目的当代组成部分。预计项目结果将有助于查明不同渔民之间冲突的根本根源，并将为更好地管理渔业资源及其使用者提供战略。该项目的结果将有助于建立不同类型渔民之间关系的模型，并有助于回答有关不同群体如何协商获取海洋公共池资源的问题。该项目还将及时分析渔业中一个相对较新的现象，即社区支持渔业（CSF），以便与类似的社区支持农业（CSA）项目进行富有成效的比较。该项目对CSF模式的成功和失败的评估也将为特定的鱼类捕捞和销售制度提供实用的见解。在目前关于特定海洋物种的州立法辩论中，对如何在不同群体之间分配资源产生了实际影响。确保这些资源的最公平分配需要该项目将提供的那种彻底的民族志和历史信息。这个项目将为在区域和国家范围内成功管理渔业的各种渔业条例提供一个基础。
