NOAA's National Marine Fisheries
Service plans to collect data on Sacramento River anglers –
including their fishing effort and expenditures on Central Valley
water bodies (Sacramento and San Joaquin River systems,
lakes/reservoirs and the Delta), their demographic characteristics,
and factors other than fish abundance (i.e., landscape/water
characteristics, recreational amenities) that affect their fishing
location choices. This information will be useful for understanding
how activities to recover ESA-listed wild salmonids (habitat
restoration, fish passage improvement) might affect existing
fisheries and the receptivity of anglers to fishing in newly
restored or newly accessible locations.
