Abstract: This request is to provide an updated version of the mail supplemental socio-economic survey that has been previously approved. The target population for this change request is recreational anglers who fish from either charter boats or private boats in the Gulf of Mexico. The National Marine Fisheries Service's (NMFS) efforts to collect socio-economic data from marine recreational anglers in the United States (U.S.) rely on both add-on components to the angler intercept survey component of the Marine Recreational Fisheries Statistics Survey and mail surveys of anglers. The overall objectives of the socio-economic data collections are to obtain demographic, social, and economic data on marine recreational anglers that can be used to estimate models of the economic value of marine recreational fishing and/or the economic impacts associated with marine recreational fishing on coastal communities. Names and addresses of anglers for the mail surveys are collected as part of the MRFSS angler intercept survey and/or from angler license frames as stated in the overall collection's complete supporting statement.
