Abstract:
The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act requires that the Marine Recreational Fisheries Statistics Survey (MRFSS) be upgraded and that future fishing surveys target anglers licensed or registered at the State or Federal level. Several pilot studies to test new survey methods have been completed. This revision is requested to implement a new method for collecting recreational fishing effort data on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, Hawaii and Puerto Rico. Results of this data collection will be used to calculate bi-monthly estimates of marine recreational fishing participation and effort.

Short Statement:
This requested revision results in a net increase of 99,600 respondents and responses and 16,600 hours. Program Change: Expanding the MFES to 15 additional states results in an increase of 120,000 respondents and responses and 20,000 hours. Adjustments: Adjusting the sample size for the existing MFES states, MA, NY, NC and FL to account for precision requirements and available funding results in a decrease of 19,800 respondents and responses and 3,300 hours. Eliminating the nonresponse follow-up study, which will be completed in 2013, results in a decrease of 600 respondents and responses and 100 hours. Total adjustments: 20,400 fewer responses and 3,400 fewer hours.
