Abstract: This request is to continue through 2008 the angler directory survey approved as a pilot survey in 12/06 for the Gulf of Mexico, and to add North Carolina to this survey. This will allow another year of comparison to the Coastal Household Telephone Survey, and extend this more efficient survey method into North Carolina. The comparison of the two sets of results will allow for an informed decision regarding continuing the Coastal Household Telephone Survey.
