Title: ESD_HI_NonCommAttitudes2015_v01
Short Name: Hawaii Attitudes and Preferences Survey: 2015
Status: Completed
Abstract:

NOAA’s Saltwater Recreational Fishing Attitudes and Preference Survey is a national survey focusing specifically on understanding saltwater anglers’ attitudes and preferences regarding the management of recreational (non-commercial) fishing opportunities.The Hawaii version of the survey was implemented between June and August 2015

Purpose:

Results from the 2015 Hawaii Saltwater Recreational Fishing Attitudes and Preference Survey will augment existing regional data collection efforts regarding the human dimensions of recreational fishing and national data collection efforts focusing on catch, effort, participation, and recreational fishing expenditures. The data collected from this survey provides NOAA and others with quantitative baseline measures of recreational fishermen’s attitudes and preferences regarding the management of saltwater fishing resources in the State of Hawaii
