THE University of Wollongong is asking fishers to complete a survey about their fishing-related spending in order to quantify the contribution recreational fishers make to the NSW economy. This will help identify the value in maintaining or improving recreational fisher access to key recreational fish species and sites, and supports ongoing management of fresh and saltwater recreational fisheries.
The survey asks general fishing activity questions and more specific questions about your most recent fishing trips, including how far you travelled, what you spent money on and which species you were hoping to catch. The survey should take about 20 minutes to complete.
You can access the survey HERE.
Survey closes on 30 September, 2022.
