  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Fishing and Other Ocean Recreation Impacts on Coastal Regions: The National Ocean Recreation Expenditures Survey Author: Thomson, Cindy, Curtis, Rita, Kosaka, Rosemary, Steinback, Scott From 2012 through 2013, NOAA Fisheries Service conducted a study to collect participation, effort, and expenditure information related to ocean recreation activities in the United States. This study collected information from all 50 states and the District of Columbia in six, two-month waves. There were eight ocean recreation categories of interest: recreational finfishing; recreational shellfishing; hunting waterfowl or other animals; viewing or photographing the ocean and wildlife; beachcombing and tidepooling; water contact sports such as swimming and surfing; boating and related activities such as wake boarding and tubing; and outdoor activities not involving water contact such as beach volleyball and camping. The survey was conducted using an online panel of U.S. households and was available in both English and Spanish. Over 31,000 respondents completed the survey, resulting in a survey completion rate of 60%. This dataset provides an abundance of information regarding numbers and types of ocean recreation trips made by respondents, details of individual trips, and respondent characteristics. The survey also included questions regarding how hypothetical changes in air temperature might influence ocean recreation preferences. This talk will provide more details about the study, the types of information collected, the questions the data are intended to answer, and our analytic efforts to date.
