Dear anglers,
Over the course of the past year, you may have been approached in person or by phone/email by Maine Department of Marine Resources (ME DMR) staff regarding your participation in NOAA Fisheries’ Marine Recreational Information Program (MRIP) national network of recreational fishing surveys. The newsletter attached to this notice provides insight on the work conducted by ME DMR and shares a few summaries from the 2024 season. The monitoring of catch, effort, and participation along with demographic, social, and economic characteristics of those who participate in saltwater recreational fishing in US waters allows for monitoring trends, evaluating the effects of fishing regulations, and projecting what impacts various management scenarios will have on marine fisheries. Your participation in these survey programs provide the invaluable data upon which the management of our fisheries depend. To those of you who participated last season, we extend our gratitude for your contribution to bettering the estimates of Maine’s recreational catch and effort.
Please enjoy the attached DMR Recreational Saltwater Fishing Newsletter below.
