Access Point Angler Intercept Survey (APAIS)
The Division is now conducting the dockside and head boat intercept/interview portion APAIS. It is the interview portion of the survey that helps develop recreational catch and harvest estimates in marine waters throughout the country. Currently the Division is in its 11th week of sampling. Mr. Allen referred to a letter mailed to all party boat captains and owners in April 2016, about this survey and the stress this program has on an already strained Division as well as the importance of collection of biological data. Mr. Allen brings this up to Council and asked Council to help spread the word, because the Administration believes this sampling should be completed without having to pay a fare for the day. However the hourlies who have been performing these surveys have been using their own money to pay for fares as well as their own transportation and have yet to be reimbursed by the state. Mr. Allen is asking for a little help from these party boat owners for the benefit of better and more accurate recreational fisheries data.
