    • Assessing the benefits and trade-offs of various policy options.
    • Forecasting significant changes in benefits and their distribution due to environmental events or policy modifications.
    • Establishing and applying fundamental economic and social indicators for evaluating fishery performance under catch share and non-catch share systems.
  • Creating data visualization tools for online platforms to present commercial, recreational, and fisheries-related data, including automated reporting tools, fact sheets, maps, and infographics.
  • Data modeling, processing, management, and automation, which includes:
    • Executing essential data processing, spatial trend analyses, and imagery analysis for comparative evaluations of commercial, recreational, and other fishing-related performance indicators.
    • Innovating and integrating geospatial production and database modeling techniques through advanced technology.
  • Disseminating economic and sociocultural research through outreach initiatives (fact sheets, infographics, websites) and organizing sessions at professional conferences, particularly focusing on ecosystem service valuation, integrated ecosystem assessments, fisheries bycatch modeling, allocation, and other key economic and sociocultural research areas of NOAA Fisheries.
