      <title>AMSEA's Port-Based Safety Training</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/1094947</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The Alaska Marine Safety Education Association (AMSEA) was established in the mid-1980s to help reduce the high fatality rate among Alaskan fishing boat operators. The non-profit organization  provides hands-on safety training to fishermen in remote fishing ports for little or no cost. AMSEA also trains instructors – often local fishermen – to become the training resources for their areas. To date, AMSEA's Marine Safety Instructor Training Course (MSIT) has trained more than 1,000 instructors, who have subsequently trained commercial fishermen throughout the United States and territories. Consequently, AMSEA's marine safety training programs has become a widely-emulated standard. As for Alaska’s high fatality rate among commercial fishermen, the average fell from 38 annually to 11.]]></description>

      <title>Throwing space back in: a tale of Indian fishermen, ICT and travel behavior</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/887330</link>
      <description><![CDATA[A suite of agent-based models is designed seeking to replicate and expand the findings of a case study examining the effects of introducing cell phones in a regional fisheries market in southern India. The remote availability of market price information led to economic benefits but also longer average travel distances for the fishermen. Our work generalizes these findings, highlighting the role of space and developing scenarios that involve different configurations for the markets and different assumptions about information-gathering strategies. Here we focus on the development of the model as a tool for exploring behavioral adaptations of ICT-using, utility-oriented travelers in different spatio-temporal contexts.]]></description>

      <title>Injury and loss concentration by sinkings in fishing fleets</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/878121</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Sinkings of fishing vessels, when accompanied by human loss, are accidents which lead to a great social upheaval, especially in the local area where they occur. In order to avoid or reduce these accidents, national governments must include in their legislation for this sector the appropriate safety measures. These resources and their distribution must be assigned in accordance with the needs of the accidentality, this requiring a detailed knowledge of the concentration of accidentality of a country's fishing sector. In this context, the aim of the present work is twofold: first, to formulate a methodology for the fishing sector of a country, allowing the inequalities in the concentration of sinking accidents to be analysed; and second, to apply this methodology to the Spanish fishing fleet. Thus, two indices are constructed per region and type of fishing, for two variables: fishermen and vessels. Results are obtained both for the concentration of accidents and the associated Lorenz curves. An increase in the inequality in the spatial and functional distribution of these accidents is verified.]]></description>

      <title>How good micro/macro ergonomics may improve resilience, but not necessarily safety</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/878122</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Professional sea fishing is among the world's most variable (non-standardized) and dangerous sectors of activity. Because of this, it provides a remarkable model to study the complex links existing between resilience and safety. Paradoxically, even if the huge risks being run cause many shipwrecks (low safety level), studies show that these sailors avoid an even greater number of accidents thanks to their exceptional skill and know-how (remarkable resilience level). This article examines several ways of improving safety in an activity of this type. Two intervention strategies are tested: (i) a micro-ergonomics strategy offering conduct assistance guidelines based on accident analyses of the most serious and frequent causes (collisions while fishing); (ii) a macro-ergonomics strategy comparing the safety level of large firms having committed to a Total Quality approach, to that of smaller companies, often privately owned. Neither of the two strategies works out as expected. The micro-ergonomics anti-collision assistance strategy is misused towards an increase of the fishing objective; the macro-ergonomics strategy is even more surprising: the largest firms suffer from a smaller number of shipwrecks, but a much greater number of work-related injuries; the strategy simply results in a minor shift of the sacrificial decision between performance and safety (loss of men vs. loss of vessels), while maintaining the same priority for financial performance. The article submits a simple modeling of the relationship between resilience and safety, and discusses the choice of strategies for safety-improving interventions, taking into account the system's financial performance and the legal pressure to which it is subjected.]]></description>

      <title>Articulating the Differences Between Safety and Resilience: The Decision-Making Process of Professional Sea-Fishing Skippers</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/851550</link>
      <description><![CDATA[In order to improve safety, resilience must be included in the knowledge of complex systems.  This paper uses the example of sea fishing to discuss the concept of resilience and its articulation to the notion of safety in conditions of extreme risk.  A total of 34 sea-fishing skippers, divided into two groups, took part in an interactive simulation of a fishing campaign. They had to make decisions in situations of trade-off between safety and production goals. Results showed that from the time they left the harbor, the fishermen never gave up on fishing, even in extreme conditions, and regardless of whether or not the catch was good.   However, they used multiple expert strategies to reduce risk without giving up on their fishing activity.   The question of whether the fishing system can be made safer through constrained safety is considered.  The findings suggest that the process of making systems safer always leads to an increase in constrained safety, to the detriment of self-managed safety.  The system becomes more rigid and less resilient as it becomes safer.  Future research needs on new approaches to safety-improving actions for risky systems are discussed.]]></description>

      <title>Analysis of Accident Inequality of the Spanish Fishing Fleet</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/794446</link>
      <description><![CDATA[There is at present a clear tendency to consider safety as a vital factor in the running of a country's fishing sector. However, the planning of the necessary resources and their adequate distribution according to the sector's needs is only possible if detailed information is available about the degree of concentration of the accidentality of that sector.  In this context, the aim of this work is two-fold: firstly, to formalize a methodology for the fishing sector of a country which allows the inequality in the concentration of accidents to be analyzed; and secondly, to apply this methodology to the Spanish fishing fleet for the period 1994-2002. Thus, indices are built by regions and by types of vessel for two variables: fishermen and vessels. Results are obtained both for the inequality in the concentration of accidents and their associated Lorenz curves and for the rates and elasticities of fishing sector accidents.]]></description>

      <title>Work-Related Maritime Fatalities</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/783264</link>
      <description><![CDATA[All maritime fatalities investigated by coroners that occurred in Australia from 1992 to 1998 inclusive have been collated, coded and recorded in the Australian Boating Injury Database: Fatal Injury (ABID:FI). This article focuses on the work-related maritime fatalities recorded in the database. Over the period 1992–1998 there were 74 fatalities involving people who were working for income at the time of the incident: 46 commercial fishermen, 12 seamen involved in the transport of cargo and 16 miscellaneous workers. The fatality rate of commercial fishermen has declined substantially in Australia over recent years. The main contributing factors were: hazardous conditions; an error of judgement; unsafe work practices; and failure to wear a personal flotation device (PFD) in circumstances where, in the opinion of the coroners, it would have saved life. Hazardous conditions were much more of a factor in fishermen deaths than in other maritime deaths. Most vessels involved had an insufficient number of PFDs for the number of crew on board. The Australian fatal injury database should be updated with the details of recent fatalities in order to further monitor safety performance, causal factors and prevention measures in the maritime industry in Australia. Attention should be focused on reducing alcohol use and increasing PFD availability and usage. In order to continue to improve safety, it is essential that a constructive dialogue is maintained with industry sources, informed by independent research and up-to-date information.]]></description>

      <title>BROAD MEASURES PROPOSED TO SAVE FISHERMEN'S LIVES</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/358552</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This article discusses recommendations for safety practices for fishermen proposed by the Marine Board of the National Research Council. The fishing vessel safety committee, formed in response to the Commercial Fishing Industry Vessel Safety Act of 1988, proposed a spectrum of safety improvements, including adoption of vessel safety standards, development of personnel competency levels, and a program of vessel inspection by owners. The committee's primary recommendations include: (1) Integrated Safety Program; (2) National Standards and Guidelines; (3) Inspection; (4) Qualifications and Competency; (5) Emergency Preparedness; (6) Safety Advocates; and (7) Weather Reports.]]></description>
