Bangor University Welsh Sustainable Sea Fisheries Project

Apologies upfront to those who may of already come across this request elsewhere…..

Bangor University are running an EFF funded project, Sustainable Use of Fisheries Resources in Welsh Waters
LINK: http://fisheries-conservation.bangor.ac.uk/wales/finfish.php.en

As part of this we are looking into developing an online angling diary, but we want to know what anglers would expect from an online diary and also if there is enough interested to make it viable. It should be noted that the diary would be extended to anglers outside of Wales.

As such I would be grateful if you could complete the ]Recreational Sea Angling Diary here:

Thanks to all those who have contributed so far.

I’ll post the a summary of the diary feedback results once the survey is complete – only fair – I know us anglers get surveyed quite a lot and there is often no feedback returned.

Anyway, currently running at 40 completed surveys for the Diary and about 20 for the Sustainable Welsh Fisheries one. Need at least a 100 to be able to considered “reliable”.

If you would like more information, then an extensive introduction and a question and answer series is available here http://www.gmonkman.eclipse.co.uk/misc/wsf_post.html

The diary and Welsh sustainable fisheries project feedback surveys will be closing this week, they had 61 and 32 respondents respectively.

The project still continues however, and Economic interviews of anglers will be rolling out shortly and the collection of biological samples is going strong for the foreseeable future!

I will be working through the submitted diary data and the questionnaire over the next month and hope to be able to provide a high level summary to the forum.

thank you to everyone who contributed – there is still time to complete a survey if you havent already!

This survey was closed on 2nd October 2013.

Thanks for all those who contributed.

The Welsh Sustainable Fisheries Project is still underway, for updates and details on how to contact the team or how to contribute, please visit our website.

A early preliminary report, based on the biological sampling work, has now been published and is available here.
