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.

美国渔业科学家和政策制定者目前正在辩论各种旨在更好地管理国家渔业的海洋空间规划和其他资源分配措施。在较小的地区，区域层面的个别渔民参与了海洋资源与政治观点之间的辩论。这些辩论对渔民和更广泛的公众产生了切实的后果。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，与休闲捕鱼活动的同时增加相匹配。这造成了两个群体之间经常针对相同捕鱼区的社会经济紧张局势和政治分歧。人们对渔业资源和政策的关注不仅来自商业渔民对生计的焦虑，还来自关注进口海鲜的环境可持续性的消费者。问题的融合导致建立了东北部的几个社区支持的渔业（CSF），最近在北卡罗来纳州建立了几个。杜克大学的博士生Noelle Boucquey在Lisa Campbell博士的监督下，将研究北卡罗来纳州卡特雷特县渔业的下降。 在此案例研究中，将记录捕鱼模式和辩论的历史变化，将检查当代捕鱼叙事和商业用户群体冲突，并将探讨社区支持的渔业计划的象征性和实践功能。这项研究将收集存档的文本和图像数据以进行历史分析，并将为该项目的当代组成部分收集民族志，深入的访谈，地图和摄影数据。预计项目结果将有助于确定不同渔民之间的冲突根源，并将提供更好地管理渔业资源及其用户的策略。该项目的结果将有助于建模不同类型的渔民之间的关系，并将帮助回答有关不同群体如何协商访问海洋公共池资源的问题。该项目还将及时分析渔业中相对较新的现象，即社区支持的渔业（CSF），这将允许与类似社区支持的农业（CSA）计划进行富有成果的比较。该项目对CSF模型的成功和失败的评估还将为特定的鱼类收获和营销制度提供实用的见解。在当前有关特定海洋物种的州立法辩论中，对如何在不同群体中分配资源具有真正的影响。确保此类资源最公平的划分需要该项目将提供的彻底民族志，历史悠久的信息的类型。该项目将为可能成功地管理区域和国家规模管理渔业的渔业法规类型提供基础。
