Abstract: This request is for extension of a currently approved collection, to continue the Large Pelagic Fishing Survey in all states along the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts, as well as Puerto Rico. The Large Pelagic Fishing Survey consists of dockside and telephone surveys of recreational anglers for large pelagic fish (tunas, sharks, and billfish) in the Atlantic Ocean. The survey provides the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) with information to monitor catch of bluefin tuna, marlin and other federally managed species. Catch monitoring in these fisheries and collection of catch and effort statistics is essential for the United States (U.S.) to meet its reporting obligations to the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas.
