ATTENTION SALTWATER ANGLERS!
The New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife's Bureau of Marine Fisheries utilizes an
angler survey to collect information on certain recreationally important
marine finfish species. Current data collection efforts for recreational
fisheries are hindered by sampling only a small portion of the fishing
public and from collecting only minimal data on discarded fish. Information
collected through this voluntary survey will provide data which may
support alternative management stratagies that increase fishing opportunities
for the public.
The focus of this voluntary survey is to collect information on catch and effort from recreational fishing trips in marine and estuarine waters of the state and surrounding areas. For catch information, BMF staff are interested in collecting information on the number and size of both kept and released species and should not be used only for successful trips. Trips with zero catch are important to report also.
Thank you for your assistance with this project. We value your input.
