The Technical Report Series of the Georgia Marine Science Center is
issued by the Georgia Sea Grant Program and the Marine Extension Service of
the University of Georgia on Skidaway Island (P.O. Box 13687, Savannah, Georgia
31406). It was established to provide dissemination of technical information
and progress reports resulting from marine studies and investigations mainly by
staff and faculty of the University System of Georgia. In addition, it is
intended for the presentation of techniques and methods, reduced data and
general i ·nformation of interest to industry, local, regional, and state governments and the public. Information contained in these reports is in the public
domain. ~f this prepublication copy is ci.ted, it should be cited as an
unpublished manuscript.
SHRIMP TRAWLER SURVEY OF THE
GEORGIA COAST BY DOCK LOCATION
July, 1975
A survey of Georgia's six coastal counties recently found that 307
shrimp trawlers dock regularly at 32 commercial docks located there.
At the time of the survey, the commercial docks and shrimp trawlers were
distributed in the six counties as follows:
33 trawlers;
111 trawlers;
trawlers;
Camden County, 5 docks and
Glynn, 5 docks and 74 trawlers;
Mcintosh, 12 docks and
Liberty, 1 dock and 18 trawlers;
Bryan, 1 dock and 2
Chatham, 8 docks and 69 trawlers.
The approach to locating the commercial docks used by shrimp fishermen on the coast was an on-the-spot physical survey.
As the dock operators
were interviewed concerning the shrimp trawlers regularly using their
facilities, they were asked to assist in locating other docks.
The re-
sulting list of docks was then reviewed by knowledgeable fishermen and
personnel of the Marine Extension Service and the Bureau of Commercial
Fisheries to add to its accuracy and completeness.
It must be added,
however, that a certain amount of change can be expected in terms of ownership of docks, captains of trawlers, and where trawlers are docked.
This survey's total of 307 shrimp trawlers found to be regularly
docked at the 32 commercial docks contrasts with the 450 shrimp vessels
reported by the National Marine Fisheries Service in 1973 using license
counts plus information from packing houses.
The difference may be ex-
plained, in part, by the fact that many out-of-state shrimp trawlers are
2
licensed to fish in Georgia waters and use Georgia docks only on a
temporary basis.
In addition, some of the trawlers may use non-commercial
or private home docks.
This is more likely to be the case for small
trawlers used part-time or for home and local use.
Of the 307 shrimp trawlers based at Georgia docks, 189, or 61.6 percent, were owner operated.
Of the remaining 118 trawlers, 111, or 36.1
percent, were non-owner operated and 7, or 2.3 percent, did not have the
position of captain filled at the time of the survey but are presumed to
be non-owner operated (see Table I).
Table II includes, by county, starting with Camden on the southern
part of the Georgia coast, each dock by name and assigned number.
The
southernmost dock is number 1 and the northernmost dock is the highest
number, 32.
Under each dock is the name of the operator and the number of
shrimp trawlers regularly docked there.
Also under each dock is listed
each trawler with its name, length, owner, captain, and the captain's
address.
Although this inventory of commercial docks and shrimp trawlers was
made primarily to serve as a sampling base for a study of the shrimp fishermen on the coast of Georgia, it is hoped that it will be of use to Marine
Extension personnel, Coastal Zone Management planners, processors, suppliers,
researchers, and others concerned with the welfare of shrimp fishermen and
the shrimp industry in Georgia.
