Abstract
This request is for a new information collection.
The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) proposes to conduct a survey to collect demographic, cultural, economic and social information about those that organize and participate in fishing tournaments in the South Atlantic. The survey also intends to inquire about the industry's perceptions, attitudes and beliefs regarding the relationships between tournament organizations and their participants with the development of federal fishery regulations. The data gathered will be used to describe the socio-political impact of tournament fishing in the South Atlantic.
