1 Descriptive Section

1.1 Indicator category

[1] “Fishery Economic Social”

1.2 Indicator name

Community Port Landings and Revenue from Wind Energy Areas (WEAs)

Includes variable(s): perc_MIN, perc_MAX, EJ, Gentrification, MaxVal

1.3 Indicator brief description

1.4 Indicator visualization

This figure links historic port revenue (2008-2022) from within all wind energy areas (including all lease areas, the Central Atlantic proposed lease areas A-2, B-1 and C-1, GOM Draft Wind Energy Area and secondary areas), as a proportion of a port’s total fisheries revenue based on vessel trip reports as described in the revenue and landings of species in the wind indicator above. The range (minimum and maximum) of total percent fisheries revenue from within wind energy areas is presented in the graph and ports are sorted from greatest to least fisheries revenue from within wind areas. Those communities that score Med-High or higher in at least one of the vulnerability indicators that address social vulnerability concerns (i.e., Poverty, Population Composition, Personal Disruption; see indicator definitions) are noted with a triangle. Gentrification pressure is also highlighted here, with those communities that score Med-High or higher in one or more gentrification pressure indicators (i.e., Housing Disruption, Retiree Migration, Urban Sprawl) represented with a circle.

2.1.2.4 Management scale: all species, FMP level, species level, can it be aggregated or separated to different scales?

[Classify by hand, note gridded data if available could be applied to different species ranges]

2.1.2.5 Uncertainty metrics

Uncertainty is captured in these variables:

character(0)

2.1.3 Are methods clearly documented to obtain source data and calculate indicators?

Yes

2.1.3.1 Can the indicator be calculated from current documentation?

Cumulative port landings(pounds) and revenue(dollars) from Wind Energy Areas (WEA) were pulled for communities along the Northeast US Shelf from 2010 to 2019. Percent of wind lease area landings were calculated compared to total landings for those communities. Social Vulnerability indicators were then matched to these communities.

2.1.3.2 Is code publicly available? up to date?

2.1.3.3 Have methods changed over time?

2.1.4 Are indicator underlying source data linked or easy to find?

Source data are NOT publicly available. Please email angela.silva@noaa.gov for further information and queries of Speed and Extent of Offshore Wind Development indicator source data.

2.1.4.1 Where are source data stored?

Social Indicators Data: https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/national/socioeconomics/social-indicators-coastal-communities https://www.st.nmfs.noaa.gov/data-and-tools/social-indicators/ Wind Data: https://www.greateratlantic.fisheries.noaa.gov/ro/fso/reports/WIND/ALL_WEA_BY_AREA_DATA.html https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/resource/data/socioeconomic-impacts-atlantic-offshore-wind-development

2.1.4.2 How/by whom are source data updated? Are future updates likely?

Angela Silva

[likelihood of source data updates requires judgement, enter by hand]

2.1.4.3 How often are they updated?

[Update by hand, look for source, may require judgement]

2.2 Indicator analysis/testing or history of use

2.2.1 What decision or advice processes are the indicators currently used in?

2.2.2 What implications of the indicators are currently listed?

BOEM reports that cumulative offshore wind development (if all proposed projects are developed) could have moderate impacts on low-income members of socially vulnerable communities who work in the commercial fishing and for-hire fishing industry due to disruptions to fish populations, restrictions on navigation and increased vessel traffic as well as existing vulnerabilities of low-income workers to economic impacts [121]. impacts of offshore wind development may unevenly affect individual operators, with permit-based revenue being much higher than the port-based mean for some permit holders

2.2.3 Do target, limit, or threshold values already exist for the indicator?

2.2.4 Have the indicators been tested to ensure they respond proportionally to a change in the underlying process?

2.2.5 Are the indicators sensitive to a small change in the process, or what is the threshold of change that is detectable?

Unknown

2.2.6 Is there a time lag between the process change and the indicator change? How long?
