Initial telephone screen script

I’m a contractor working for NOAA Fisheries and we’re conducting a survey with Washington and Oregon Charter fishing vessel owners to better understand the economic contributions to recreational fisheries and the potential impact of changes in the fisheries. 

 

Did your vessel carry fishing passengers in salt water in 2017? Saltwater is defined as all waters seaward of river or stream mouths, including estuaries, and the Columbia River seaward of the Tongue Point-Rocky Point line. 

1. Yes [Continue]

2. No [Thank and terminate]

 

[If yes] For this survey we’re mailing questionnaires and scheduling in-person appointments at a location convenient to you.
