The primary field project occurred in March-April 2023 in collaboration with both NOAA Fisheries and the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADFG). The Foundation chartered two fishing vessels (the FV Summer Bay and the FV Silver Spray) to complete a Winter-Spring red king crab pot survey in Bristol Bay AK. The project was the first in a sequence of Collaborative Pot Sampling (CPS1) projects that focused a seasonal distribution survey of Bristol Bay red king crab in the late winter. The project placed subcontractors from BSFRF along with personnel from NOAA and ADF&G onboard the charters as scientific parties to complete the research. The project addressed a primary research priority of collecting more information on the winter-spring distribution of red king crab in Bristol Bay to review the efficacy of current spatial conservation measures. The Foundation purchased approximately $195,000 of smart-technology tags to be shared with NOAA scientists for placement on Bristol Bay red king crab during the Bering Sea NOAA summer survey (Jun- Aug, 2023). These tags were purchased from Wildlife Computers by BSFRF, and shipped to NOAA Kodiak scientists prior to the NMFS survey. The placement of the tags occurred successfully during the NOAA survey. This project was also a high priority research item and was part of ongoing research to address red king crab movement and seasonal distribution in Bristol Bay. The BSFRF science advisory team (Science Team) participated in a number of usual, other activities during 2023 which included: the January, May and September Crab Plan Team meetings of the North Pacific Fisheries Management Council (NPFMC, in Seattle and AK), the Alaska Marine Science Symposium (AMSS, January in Anchorage), and the Bering Sea Crab Science Symposium (Seattle). false true false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false true false false true false false false false true false false false true 8 0 0 false false false false true true false false false X 13 13 false false false false false false false true true true false true true false false false true true true false X DAVID R MATHERLY CPA 4254868173 23929 22ND DR SE BOTHELL WA 98021 X DOUG WELLS PRESIDENT, DIRECTOR 3.00 X X 0 0 0 EDWARD POULSEN VICE PRESIDENT, DIRECTOR 2.00 X X 0 0 0 FRANK KELTY VICE PRESIDENT, DIRECTOR 2.00 X X 0 0 0 LENNY HERZOG SECRETARY, DIRECTOR 2.00 X X 0 0 0 GARRY LONCON TREASURER, DIRECTOR 2.00 X X 0 0 0 MARK CASTO DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 LOUIE LOWENBERG DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 GARY PAINTER DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 HEATHER MCCARTY DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 CHARLIE HENSEL DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 OWEN KVINGE DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 SHANNON CARROLL DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 SINCLAIR WILT DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 SCOTT GOODMAN EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 8.00 X 0 0 0 false false false NATURAL RESOURCES CONSULTANTS INC 4039 21st Ave W 404 SEATTLE WA 98199 RESEARCH CONSULTANT 335622 WILDLIFE COMPUTERS 8310 154TH AVE NE STE 150 REDMOND WA 98052 SURVEY CRAB TAGS 194290 SILVER SPRAY SEAFOODS LLC PO BOX 8321 KODIAK AK 99615 VESSEL CHARTER AND FUEL 336835 SUMMER BAY LLC 4254 SVEDLUND CIRCLE HOMER AK 99603 VESSEL CHARTER AND FUEL 298656 4 776200 94946 871146 19763 0 19763 890909 0 0 19763 12326 0 540 0 0 0 27285 0 0 0 406140 0 0 0 1053 0 0 0 24855 0 0 0 2950 0 0 0 1429 0 0 0 1249 0 0 0 VESSEL CHARTER LEASE 486000 0 0 0 VESSEL CHARTER FUEL 149491 0 0 0 SURVEY PROJECT SUPPLIES 185015 0 0 0 SURVEY GEAR SHIPPING & STORAGE 6514 0 0 0 1304847 0 0 0 86822 343811 1338999 637219 28000 360463 351355 1091 9108 1426912 1018138 22287 27451 22287 27451 X 1404625 990687 1404625 990687 1426912 1018138 -413938 X false false false false RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 360463 351355 9108 9108 true 0 0 TUITION SCHOLARSHIP 1 12326 MADISON SHIPLEY EMPLOYEE OF NRC 12326 TUITION & RESEARCH ASSISTANCE PROMOTE QUALITY OF RESEARCH SCOTT GOODMAN EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 335622 RESEARCH CONSULTANT false LINE 1 SCOTT GOODMAN IS A PRINCIPAL OF NATURAL RESOURCES CONSULTANTS INC (NRC).
