Catch and Effort Data Module

Sampling Program for Private/Rental and Shore Modes of Fishing

Private and rental boats will be maintained as one strata, however, surveys for this mode should be designed to allow post-stratification of rental boats. All shore fishing should be sampled as one strata, with collection of information at the individual mode level to allow for post-stratification for piers, docks, other man-made shore, and natural shore modes of fishing. All minimum standard data elements listed in Table 4 of the FIN Program Design Document (FPDD) must be collected by all partners conducting recreational data collection programs, unless otherwise noted. All catch and effort data should be collected at the trip-level with possible resolution for each area fished.

Effort data for the private/rental and shore modes of fishing should be collected through a telephone survey with random sampling of households. Specific data elements to be collected through the telephone survey are listed in Table 4 of the( FPDD). Catch data for the private/rental and shore modes of fishing should be collected through an access-site intercept survey.
