Description

The Annual Deployment Plan (ADP) is a NOAA document that outlines how fisheries monitoring will be administered into fishing events for the calendar year. It is presented as a draft to the North Pacific Fishery Management Council at their October meeting and as a final during the Council's December meeting. The focus of the draft ADP is on alternative sampling designs or refinements to analyses, and the focus of the final is on selection rates for the coming year in the partial coverage fleet.

Reference:

• This repository was migrated on August 8, 2025 from https://github.com/Alaska-Fisheries-Monitoring-Analytics/ADP.git where it resides as an archive.
• The ADP year is the year for which the ADP is intended. If it is 2024 now (aka the current year), we are planning for the 2025 ADP year.
• The google drive for this project resides in the FMA Analytical Services Program shared google drive. This is where the source data and outputs are saved to, separately from this respository.

Project Workflow:

See the script flow chart (ADP-team only) The outputs of each script are saved locally the the source_data/ folder and/or uploaded to the shared google drive for each subsequent script to access.

• Phil Ganz (AKRO) first updates the valhalla dataset for the current year and uploads it to the shared google drive.
• Phil Ganz also runs a few AKRO-specific data pulls in the sql_pull_akro.R script, at which point anyone can run the rest of the scripts.
• get_data.R is run to complete the data preparation, teeing-up several sub-analyses that must be completed:
  • analyses/effort_prediction.R is run for the Final ADP, otherwise it is skipped.
  • analyses/trip_duration.R is run to get actual and estimated observer assignment duration.
  • analyses/monitoring_costs.R is run to parameterize and estimate monitoring costs.
• Finally selection_rates.R is run to calculate the afforded monitoring rates.
