Footnote: There were several more disaster aid programs that were not listed here because their monies were allocated for reseach or permit buybacks and are therefore placed in those subsidy categories. Salmon in Washington (1997), Brown shrimp in Louisiana and Mississippi (1997), and Groundfish in the Northeast (2000). The data on this spreadsheet is primarily derived from summaries of fishing disaster determinations, with supplemental info provided by NOAA because in some cases the data conflicts.
