National Marine Recreational Fishing Expenditure Survey 2011

Metadata Updated: March 1, 2024

Marine recreational fishing is a popular pastime across the United States that generates significant economic impacts to both local economies and to the nation. In this survey, the level of fishing expenditures for anglers was quantified within each coastal state and the U.S. as a whole. The primary objectives of the national expenditure surveys are to collect trip expenditures for an angler’s most recent marine recreational fishing trip and to collect annual expenditures on durable goods used for marine recreational fishing. Additional objectives include obtaining a profile of the most recent marine recreational fishing trip and collecting demographic information on marine recreational anglers.

Lineage Data were collected from January to December 2011 in each coastal state using an economic-add on to the MRIP angler intercept survey on the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts, Puerto Rico, and in Hawaii. In California, Oregon, Washington, Texas and Alaska, mail surveys were sent to licensed anglers who took a saltwater fishing trip during 2011. Contract firms were hired to manage the mail survey process and NMFS staff received the raw data and assembled the final dataset.
