This request is to provide an updated version of the mail supplemental economic survey that has been previously approved and to request a corresponding online version.
Current efforts to collect economic data from marine recreational anglers across the U.S. rely on complementary add-on components to the Marine Recreational Fisheries Statistics Survey (OMB Control No. 0648-0052). The overall objectives of the economic data collection are to obtain demographic, social, and economic data on marine recreational anglers that can be used to estimate models of the economic value of marine recreational fishing and the economic impacts associated with marine recreational fishing on coastal communities.
Our current plan is that the specific questions on the economic survey would vary from year to year according to the current needs of fisheries managers. Generally, the types of questions to be asked include economic questions related to the marine fishing activities of the angler (such as questions about the anglerÂs most recent fishing trip), expenditures on fishing related goods and services, angler preferences for different types of fishing trips, and demographic questions about the angler. In this current version of the mail survey, the focus is on the anglerÂs most recent trip and the anglerÂs expenditures related to marine recreational fishing. In comparison to the mail survey provided initially, Section B in this updated version includes questions on twelve month expenditures for fishing tackle, fishing-related equipment, boats, vehicles, and second homes instead of questions that ask about angler preferences over different types of fishing trips.
We would also like to implement an online form as an alternative to the mail form.
