This request is to continue through
2008 the angler directory survey approved as a pilot survey in
12/06 for the Gulf of Mexico, and to add North Carolina to this
survey. This will allow another year of comparison to the Coastal
Household Telephone Survey, and extend this more efficient survey
method into North Carolina. The comparison of the two sets of
results will allow for an informed decision regarding continuing
the Coastal Household Telephone Survey.
