  • Description:
    Communication is an important but poorly understood component of marine recreational fisheries management. Three distinct pressures to improve communications with recreational fishermen exist and will grow significantly over the next decade. (1) The combined commercial and recreational harvest of some fish stocks is approaching or exceeding the optimum production capacities. (2) Environmental education is becoming an increasingly important componenet of MRF management. (3) Tourism promotion and development by coastal zone communities is growing very rapidly with both positive and negative consequences for marine recreational fishermen. The primary goal of this project was to improve the effeciency of the communication system used to disseminate information to marine recreational fishermen. The project examined the information in marine recreational brochures; surveyed marine recreational fishermen throughout North Carolina's coastal zone to identify information-​seeking behaviors; and surveyed fishermen on fishing catch per unit of effort and the awareness and adoption of two marine recreational fishing innovations. Specific courses of action are recommended that fisheries managers may use to achieve better communication with marine recreational fishermen.
