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 repository.

Project Workflow:

See a process diagram of the analyses. Generally:

• An AKRO team member must run a version of valhalla for the current year and save this to the shared google drive
• An AKRO team member must also run the sql_pull_akro.R script and upload the outputs to the shared google drive - Any team member can then run get_data.R to create the primary data input for the ADP, saving the outputs to the shared google drive
• Sub-analyses are then run:
  • analyses/effort_prediction.R\ (Final ADP only)
  • analyses/trip_duration.R\
  • analyses/monitoring_costs.R\
• Finally, the selection_rates.R script can be run with the outputs saved to the results/ folder
