Agenda• Estimation Design• Catch Survey Design• Effort Survey Design• For Hire Data Collection
U.S. Department of Commerce | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration | NOAA Fisheries | Page 2
Estimation
• Catch = Effort (trips) * Catch per trip• Effort – Offsite surveys• Catch per trip – Onsite surveys
U.S. Department of Commerce | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration | NOAA Fisheries | Page 3
Catch per Trip Estimation
• “The estimation procedure for information gathered onsite does not use nominal or actual selection probabilities of the sampling design, and therefore, has the potential to produce biased estimates…” (NRC Review)
• Sample of anglers selected in stages• MRFSS estimation design ignored selection probabilities
and sample weights – potential for bias

Catch per Trip Estimation
• “The estimation procedure for information gathered onsite does not use nominal or actual selection probabilities of the sampling design, and therefore, has the potential to produce biased estimates…” (NRC Review)
• Sample of anglers selected in stages• MRFSS estimation design ignored selection probabilities
and sample weights – potential for bias
U.S. Department of Commerce | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration | NOAA Fisheries | Page 6
Catch per Trip Estimation
• Revised MRIP estimation design accounts for selection probabilities at all stages of sampling
• Incorporates sample weights into CPUE estimation• Design-unbiased• Revised estimates 2004-2012• Comparisons between MRFSS and revised MRIP
estimates are available on the MRIP website.

Catch Survey Design
• “The onsite sampling frame should be re-designed”• “…interviewers frequently are allowed to make
judgments about where, when, and which units [sites/anglers] to sample”
U.S. Department of Commerce | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration | NOAA Fisheries | Page 8
Catch Survey Design
• MRIP completely updated catch survey sample frame (site register)
• Collaborated with state natural resource agencies to add new sites, update site pressures and add information about site amenities
• Site register is publicly accessible, and we encourage public input: https://www.st.nmfs.noaa.gov/siteregister/html/siteRegister.jsp

Catch Survey Design
• A new MRIP catch survey design implemented for wave 2, 2013
• Stratified sampling design• Time of day• Geographically
• Small sites clustered together to ensure coverage• Very specific interviewing protocols• Design will be closely monitored throughout 2013 to
evaluate performance
U.S. Department of Commerce | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration | NOAA Fisheries | Page 12
Effort Survey Design
• “The existing random digit dialing (RDD) survey suffers in [in]efficiency from the low proportion of fishing households among the general population and may allow bias in estimation from its restriction to coastal counties only”
• “A comprehensive, universal sampling frame with national coverage should be established”
• “Dual-frame procedures should be used whenever possible to reduce sample bias”
U.S. Department of Commerce | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration | NOAA Fisheries | Page 13
Effort Survey Design
• Implemented National Saltwater Angler Registry• Tested Angler License Directory Telephone Surveys
• Much more efficient than RDD• Poor response rates• Missing and/or inaccurate contact information• LOTS of people fish without a license• It’s not currently feasible to sample exclusively from license
databases
U.S. Department of Commerce | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration | NOAA Fisheries | Page 14
Effort Survey Design
• Dual-Frame Mail Survey Designs• Sample from angler license databases and residential
address frames • Address frame provides nearly 100% coverage• License sampling results in efficiency gains• Response rates considerably higher than telephone
surveys • Feasible to produce estimates in timely manner• Continue testing through 2013 with plans to implement
broadly in 2014
U.S. Department of Commerce | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration | NOAA Fisheries | Page 15
For-Hire Data Collections
• “Charter boat, head boat and other for-hire recreational fishing operations should be required to maintain logbooks of fish landed and kept as well as fish caught and released”
U.S. Department of Commerce | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration | NOAA Fisheries | Page 16
For-Hire Data Collections
• Currently utilize For-Hire Survey (FHS) to estimate catch and effort for charter boats coast-wide and headboats from ME-VA• Weekly survey of charter boat operators• Dockside and at-sea observation of catch
• Headboats in Southeast Region report via Southeast Regional Headboat Survey (SRHS)
• MRIP has funded implementation of electronic logbooks in the SRHS
• Tested logbook reporting for Federally permitted for-hire vessels in Gulf of Mexico – project report will be published shortly
U.S. Department of Commerce | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration | NOAA Fisheries | Page 17
What’s Next?
• Monitoring of MRIP catch survey• Finalize design of MRIP effort survey – 2014
implementation• Revise pre-2004 estimates• Publish results of GOM logbook pilot study and develop
follow-up projects as necessary• Establish standards for precision of catch estimates• Work with stakeholders to evaluate tradeoffs among
precision, timeliness and resolution

Quality Control
• Unscheduled supervisor visits• Follow-up telephone interviews with sampled anglers• Manual review of monthly raw survey data ( “fish dumps”)• Automated checks of data• Manual review of wave estimates• Public posting of preliminary estimates
