The section manages recreational fishing information obtained from ongoing provision of data from Angling Club Field Day Records Book, Angler's Log Book, surveys completed by Fisheries Officers and VFLO surveys. Information is now obtained from licenced charter boat operators who have been providing returns since September 2001. The section also monitors the general public participation rate and satisfaction with recreational fishing and awareness of the Department's various roles annually based on a phone survey. Similarly, information on recreational catch and fishing effort for the abalone, marron, SW freshwater angling and rock lobster fisheries is collected and reported using an annual telephone survey of licence holders. Time: ongoing.
