NOAA–Reliable data are foundational to successful fisheries management. NOAA Fisheries recognizes this and is taking essential steps to enhance scientific credibility and increase stakeholder confidence through transparency and partnership. We took two important steps in this direction in early 2024.
NOAA initiated a follow-up study to examine potential bias in the Fishing Effort Survey. This survey allows us to estimate how many recreational fishing trips are taken in a given year. A previous review showed that estimates derived from it may be too high. Second, we engaged partners in an effort to holistically re-envision the state-federal recreational fisheries data partnership, including four recent public webinars. These partners include:
- States
- Interstate fisheries commissions
- Federal fisheries management councils
- Fishing public
