Abstract:
This request is for renewal and revision of a currently approved information collection. The proposed data collection will be a continuation of the data collection approved under OMB Control No. 0648-0769. The purpose of the Florida Fishing and Boating Survey (FFBS) is to collect data that allows fisheries managers to develop models that predict how Florida anglers respond to changes in trip costs and fishing regulations for reef fish species. By developing these models, NOAA Fisheries and regional fisheries council staff will be able to improve the analysis of the economic effects of proposed changes in fishing regulations and changes in economic factors that affect the cost of fishing. The survey will target marine recreational anglers who fish in Florida from a private boat. This request is for a renewal and revision. Changes to the previous approved collection are 1) to include anglers on the Atlantic coast of Florida (previously only Gulf of Mexico anglers included); 2) adapt the survey to ask about all federally managed fish in both the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico (previously survey focused on gag grouper in Gulf of Mexico); and 3) remove the mail component of the survey, financial incentives, and non-response survey.
