Abstract:
The objective of the survey is to collect information on both trip expenditures and annual durable good expenditures made by marine recreational anglers. The survey will be conducted in three phases. The first phase of the survey will ask anglers about their purchases of durable goods such as fishing gear, boats, vehicles, and second homes. The second phase will ask anglers about the expenses incurred on their most recent marine recreational fishing trip. The third phase will ask both trip and durable expenditures made by anglers fishing for highly migratory species. As specified in the Magnuson-Stevenson Fishery Conservation and Management Act of 1996 (and reauthorized in 2007), the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is required to enumerate the economic impacts of the policies it implements on fishing participants and coastal communities. The expenditure data collected in this survey will be used to estimate the economic contributions and impacts of marine recreational fishing to each coastal state and nationwide. This request is to add a web-based alternative to the survey.
