Abstract
  • Beginning in 1998 on the East Coast of the United States (US) and ending on the West Coast of the US in 2000, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) conducted a series of surveys to gauge marine recreational angler expenditures by region. These surveys were conducted using the Marine Recreational Fisheries Statistical Survey (MRFSS) to gather a sample frame for a telephone follow-up survey focusing on trip and annual expenditures. Since the MRFSS was not conducted in Alaska, Hawaii, or Texas during this timeframe, those states were not included in the analysis. NMFS repeated this effort in 2006, but altered the methodology for a number of reasons. For the 2006 effort, the MRFSS survey was used to collect trip expenditures in the field and collect a sample frame for a follow-up mail survey of annual expenditures on the East and Gulf Coasts. For the California, Oregon, Washington, Alaska, Hawaii, and Texas, states not participating in the MRFSS in 2006, a license frame mail survey was conducted collecting both trip and annual expenditure information. Additionally, recreational Highly Migratory Species permit holders were also surveyed, a telephone survey of non-respondents was conducted, and a side-by-side survey mode comparison was conducted. Selected expenditure and economic impact estimates will be presented based on completion of impact modeling currently underway. Also, a comparison of expenditures across respondents and non-respondents, across mail and telephone modes, and between HMS permit holders and general anglers will be presented.
