Statewide Recreational Fishing Survey 2013–14 : Social and attitudinal survey

Abstract

This social and attitudinal survey (wash-up survey) formed part of the larger 2013-14 Statewide Recreational Fishing Survey (SRFS2013-14) (Webley et al., 2015). The aim of this survey was to provide participants the opportunity to comment on various fisheries-related topics at the end of the 12 month telephone-diary survey of SRFS2013-14. It collected comments on various topics from 1 406 people. Some questions were ‘closed’ questions requiring a specific response (e.g. Yes/No) and others were ‘open’, meaning the participants were able to provide short sentences describing their opinion, concern, or recommendation.
