Description:The collection of economic data on commercial fisheries without a formal dealer network often requires time and labor-intensive field research. Previous fisheries social and economic research in the Caribbean has embraced stratified or cluster sampling techniques as an efficient alternative to seeking large random samples. We explore an alternative approach wherein fisheries education and research are incorporated into a registration process structured around small group interactions in the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI). We find that this approach can raise response rates and save considerable effort, but the surveys themselves must be very brief.
