Abstract: Recent amendments to the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act require that the Marine Recreational Fisheries Statistics Survey (MRFSS) be upgraded and address concerns about potential bias in the data collections. This new Access-Point Angler Intercept Survey (APAIS) is requested to implement new methodologies for collecting recreational fishing catch and participant data. Results of this data collection effort will be used to calculate bi-monthly estimates of marine recreational fishing participation, effort and catch.
