Full Citation Examples
This survey collected data to provide a current perspective on the for-hire fishing sectors of Florida (east coast), Georgia, South and North Carolina. One important segment of sportfishing demand is the recreational for-hire fleet, commonly called charter and head boats. A 13-page survey with 62 questions was developed to collect information on for-hire operators background and characteristics, boat description, species information, operating policies, boat operation, business operation characteristics, community ties, and opinions concerning current fisheries regulations. Letters, phone calls and intercepts at marinas were used to contact operators to explain the intent of the survey and encourage participation. Charter and head boat operators were surveyed at their home marina by trained interviewers. Respondents were asked to complete the survey with responses based on the 2009 calendar year.
