i want to know the amount of fisherman that work on boats located in
waters of 45 degrees and below. this includes all deckhands and
captains and all other positions which are physically located on
boats. docked boats should not be included. i would also like to know
how many deaths occur annually in waters of 45 degrees and below.
these deaths are to be specifically weather related. partial
information will be accepted if all information is not available. |

amount of people dead from being thrown overboard on fishing boats in
waters of 45 degrees and under

Dear jy877-ga;
Please take a look at these statistics and let me know if they answer
your question as well as possible in lieu of better information:

the numbers and statistics in the following two articles:

are great however they are only dated to 1996. i was looking for a
time frame more like 96-2006.

Generally speaking statistics of this nature are almost always
outdated by a couple of years. That is just the nature of statistics.
Finding statistical data for the year in progress on just about any
subject is extremely rare because it is incomplete and often too
premature to be published.
Your thoughts?

A couple of years is fine, but i need statistics a least up to 2000.
The research i am conducting is based on somewhat new technology, so
data ending in 96 is undesirable for me.

This may suffice, if you are willing to accept fatality statistics
within certain geographical segments as a basis for your data:
The hazardous work conditions faced by fishermen have a strong impact
on their safety. Out of 862 work-related deaths that took place in
Alaska during 1990-2004, one-third (281 cases) occurred to fishermen.
This is equivalent to an estimated annual fatality rate of 111/100,000
workers/year. This fatality rate is 24 times that of the overall US
work-related fatality rate of 4.6/100,000 workers/year for the same
time period.?

?From 1993 to 1997, the occupational fatality rate for lobstermen in
Maine was 14 per 100,000 licensed lobstermen, more than 2.5 times the
national average (4.8 per 100,000 workers) for all industries.?
