The Registry Program collects name, address, date of birth, e-mail address and telephone contact information from those anglers and for-hire vessels who are involved in recreational fishing in the United States (U.S.) EEZ or for anadromous fish in any waters, unless the anglers or vessels are exempted from the registration requirement. This information is compiled into a national and/or series of regional registries that are used to support surveys of recreational anglers and for-hire vessels to develop estimates of recreational angling effort. A registration fee of $25 is now charged.

Program change: As provided in 50 CFR 600, Subpart P, an increase in registration fee to $29, from $25, per year was instituted, effective January 1, 2016. For the current registrants, that means a total increase of $10,896. Adjustments: Recent declines in registration may reflect lack of enforcement. The estimates in 2015 were for 15,122 responses and 756 hours, compared to 2,724 responses and 137 hours (decrease of 619 hours). This also means a reduction of the previous fee total due to the 12,398 fewer respondents (-(12,398 x$25) = -$309,950). In 2010, the Marine Recreational Information Program launched a major communications and outreach campaign to support the roll-out of the National Saltwater Angler Registry. Members of MRIP’s Communications and Education Team created a web page on the new Registry, which included a series of questions to help anglers determine whether they needed to register with NOAA Fisheries. The Communications and Education Team also developed a series of customized collateral materials including “one-third sheets” and business card hand-outs, and drafted template newsletter articles for partners along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, and in Hawaii and Puerto Rico. Additional outreach efforts included live-read Public Service Announcements (in both English and Spanish) to coastal radio stations. These materials remain available on the NMFS website. Outreach effort has declined in recent years due to focus on securing and using state license data to support sampling programs. We anticipate increasing outreach in the Caribbean, once hurricane recovery has progressed, and in both the Caribbean and Hawaii as the new Fishing Effort Survey (OMB Control No. 0648-0652) is utilized.
