The National Marine Fisheries Service is responsible for collecting information on marine recreational angling, and does so principally through the Marine Recreational Information Program (MRIP), a survey program that consists of an in-person survey at fishing access sites and a mail survey, in addition to other complementary or alternative surveys. Following recommendations made in a National Academies 2006 report, this report serves as a 10-year progress report on the development of that survey program.
