On April 25 and 26, 2023, NOAA ran a hybrid online/in-person National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) Recreational Economic Constituent Workshop in Tampa, Florida.
The workshop aimed to enhance the understanding of how economics plays a role in management decisions, identify information gaps, explore how stakeholders can improve recreational fishing economic data collection; and identify tangible ways anglers can help collect data and share information in the future.
