Assess new technologies and techniques that could improve the cost-effectiveness and robustness of recreational fishing surveys

Knowledge of the size and impact of recreational fishing currently represents the most significant gap in the assessment of community-shared fisheries. To tackle this problem the current project will use a workshop approach to: - Identify options to improve the precision and cost-effectiveness of recreational fishing surveys; - Identify strategies that positively engage the recreational sector in fisheries science and management; and - Assess whether emerging surveillance technology can be feasibly integrated into future surveys.
