May 6, 2013 — The following was released by the Atlantic Coastal Cooperative Statistics Program:
In late 2012, the Atlantic Coast Cooperative Statistics Program brought together fishermen, dealers, and fisheries managers for a project to evaluate electronic reporting on the Atlantic coast. The first phase of this project is gathering opinions on fisheries electronic reporting from Atlantic coast commercial and recreational fishermen, as well as dealers. This project will be collecting information from the survey link or paper copies until May 31, 2013.
The survey titled, "Improving Our Understanding of Atlantic Coast Fisheries Electronic Reporting" can be filled out here.
If you do not have access to a computer you can also get a paper copy of the survey by calling 703.842.0782 or from any of the regional fishery councils or most state fisheries agencies.
For more information on this project, please review the initial news release distributed January 24, 2013 or email info@accsp.org.
