Commercial Fishing Fatalities --- California, Oregon, and Washington, 2000--2006
http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm5716a2.htm
During 2000--2006, commercial fishing was one of the most dangerous occupations in the United States, with an average annual fatality rate of 115 deaths per 100,000 fishermen. During the 1990s, safety interventions in Alaska fisheries were followed by declines in that state's commercial fishing fatality rates. To assess the need for similar safety improvements in the other three Pacific Coast states, CDC analyzed data on commercial fishing fatalities from California, Oregon, and Washington during 2000--2006.
