Links to federal and academic sites
Federal and academic databases can provide a wide variety of information
on fishing-dependent communities -- especially demographic and economic data.
Here we provide links to a number of federal and academic sites useful in
conducting communities research. As always, we welcome suggestions for additional
links.
