South Carolina marine recreational fishery surveys, 1989

Abstract

The South Carolina Office of Fisheries Management conducts the Marine Recreational Fishery Statistics Survey annually. This fishing survey has two components: 1) a telephone poll of coastal households to obtain information on participation and effort and 2) an on-site intercept survey (creel census) to collect catch, effort, and demographic data. This report describes procedures and results of these surveys during 1989.
