Has Ecotrust collected data from recreational fishermen prior to the South Coast study region?
Yes, we collected recreational fishing data for the North Central Coast study region; however, we were asked to do the recreational fishing analysis late and because of that we were unable to interview the number of recreational fishermen required to have statistically significant sample size. In the South Coast our intention is to get started early enough so that we can provide information that accurately represents the recreational fishing community along the South Coast. We also intend to make the information available to the Regional Stakeholder Group by their first or second meeting.
