The MRIP Fishing Effort Survey (FES) is a household mail survey that collects information about recreational saltwater fishing activity. Specifically, the survey estimates annual fishing participation (number of individuals who participate in recreational saltwater fishing), as well as fishing effort (number of angler trips) for two-month reference waves. We propose minor modifications to the survey instrument to, 1) increase response to the survey by non-anglers; 2) differentiate between saltwater and freshwater fishing; 3) provide more specific instructions to define the scope of the survey; and 4) minimize reporting for time periods that are not included in analysis. These changes will not result in a change in estimated respondent burden or cost. A recall survey is being implemented, with the same overall burden to the collection as previous, using slightly smaller samples from each region for the full survey.
