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讨论各种海洋空间规划和其他资源分配措施，以更好地管理国家渔业。在较小规模的区域一级，个别渔民参与了海洋资源与政治观点之间的辩论。这些辩论对渔民和广大公众产生了切实的影响。在北卡罗来纳州的卡特雷特县地区，漫长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。这造成了两个团体之间的社会经济紧张局势和政治分歧，他们往往以同一捕鱼区为目标。对渔业资源和政策的关切不仅来自对生计的担忧，也来自对进口海产品的环境可持续性的担忧。这些问题的汇合导致在东北部建立了几个社区支持的渔业（CSF），最近在北卡罗来纳州建立了一个。杜克大学的博士生Noelle Boucquey在丽莎坎贝尔博士的监督下将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，将记录捕鱼模式和辩论的历史性变化，当代捕鱼叙事和商业娱乐用户群体的冲突将被检查，并探讨社区支持的渔业计划的象征性和实际功能。这项研究将收集存档的文本和图像数据用于历史分析，并将收集民族志，深入访谈，地图和摄影数据用于该项目的当代组成部分。预计项目成果将有助于查明不同渔民之间冲突的根源，并将提供更好地管理渔业资源及其使用者的战略，项目成果将有助于建立不同类型渔民之间关系的模型，并将有助于回答关于不同群体如何谈判获得海洋共有资源的问题。该项目还将及时分析渔业中一个相对较新的现象，即社区支持的渔业（CSF），这将使人们能够与类似的社区支持的农业（CSA）计划进行富有成效的比较。该项目对CSF模式成败的评价也将为特定的鱼类捕捞和销售制度提供实际的见解。在目前关于具体海洋物种的国家立法辩论中，对如何在不同群体之间分配资源有着真实的影响。确保最公平地分配这些资源需要彻底的民族志，历史上的信息，这个项目将提供的类型。该项目将为可能成功管理区域和国家规模渔业的渔业条例类型提供基础。
