Notice Title
CEFAS23-124 RFQ for a Survey of Recreational Sea Fishing in England & Wales
Notice Description
Recreational Sea Fishing (RSF) is a popular activity with the potential to significantly impact fish stocks. Studies have shown that RSF contributes to removals from the overall stock, ranging from 2% to 43%. This wide range emphasises the need for accurate data collection and monitoring of RSF activities to ensure sustainable management of fish populations. In the United Kingdom, RSF is currently an unlicensed activity, meaning there is no comprehensive record of the number of individuals participating in the activity. This lack of information presents a challenge when it comes to assessing the impact of RSF on fish stocks and implementing effective management measures. To address this knowledge gap, a face-to-face survey was conducted between 2016 and 2019. The survey aimed to quantify RSF participation rates, the frequency of fishing trips, and gather data on socially and economically significant variables. However, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the survey methodology had to be adapted, and an online format was adopted in 2020. Consequently, the results obtained from the online survey are not directly comparable to the earlier face-to-face survey, raising concerns about the consistency and reliability of the data collected. Given these challenges and the importance of accurately monitoring RSF catches, a new, bespoke, probabilistically designed survey focused on RSF is crucial. This survey process will provide a robust framework for data collection, ensuring accurate and comparable information on participation rates, fishing frequency, and other relevant variables. By conducting this survey, we can enhance our understanding of RSF's impact on fish stocks and facilitate evidence-based decision-making for the sustainable management of marine resources in the future.
