In this volume: This volume describes the current landscape of energy consumption in fisheries, focusing on eight fleets: Alaska salmon seine, Bristol Bay gillnet, New England bottom trawl, New England gillnet, New England inshore lobster, New England scallop dredge, Southern California pot/hook/dive, and West Coast tuna/crab/salmon. Five fleets with a smaller presence in our project are also reviewed: Alaska longline/troll, Alaska salmon tenders, New England hook and line, New England midwater trawl, and Port Orford fisheries.

In this volume: This volume explores socio-economic and regulatory factors that may retard or accelerate a transition to a low carbon fishing fleet. It draws attention  to the economic challenges propelled by increasing costs, unpredictable revenues, regulatory uncertainty, and climate change impacts, which can hinder investments in  technologies and vessel upgrades, and examines the role of fisheries management and safety regulations in constraining or enabling opportunities for innovation.

In this volume: This volume explores the critical role of shoreside infrastructure in enabling a transition to a low-carbon fishing fleet. Specific themes include the readiness of ports to handle next-generation fuels, the potential strain of increased electrical demand from vessel electrification, and the necessity of developing regional clean transportation corridors to support the mobility of fishing fleets.
