Abstract: The objective of the National Ocean Recreational Expenditure (NORE) Survey is to help address the research agenda in the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Next Generation Strategic Plan as it relates to ecosystem-dependent human activities, and to provide methodological insights into mail versus web-based surveys. The proposed data collection is intended to be a web-based survey and the collected information will be used by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) to estimate participation (number of participation and activity days), expenditures, and demographics for a broad range of ocean recreation activities at national and regional levels. Saltwater fishing is included in the proposed data collection and the proposed timing of the survey will allow estimates of saltwater fishing effort, expenditures, and demographics to be compared with estimates from a mail-based, national Saltwater Fishing Expenditure Survey currently underway. The proposed data collection is voluntary.
