Projects Overview
MRIP is a multi-year comprehensive evaluation and redesign of saltwater recreational fishing data collection methods that uses a collaborative approach to gathering and reporting information. In developing the program, NOAA Fisheries has engaged a broad group of stakeholders to help consider key issues like how data can best be assembled, who will use the data, and for what purposes. To answer these and other questions, NOAA Fisheries established focused work groups representing a wide range of opinions and tasked them with developing the most credible estimates possible.
