The University of Canberra and the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences, are working with the peak body for recreational fishing in Australia (the Australian Recreational Fishing Foundation) and the Fisheries Research and Development Corporation to conduct a national survey to value the social and economic contributions of recreational fishers and the benefits of recreational fishing. The National Recreational Fishing Survey was called for by the recreational fishing sector to follow up on the last national survey, which was completed in 2000-2001 and is now out of date.
The Survey is being undertaken to better understand the many values and benefits of recreational fishing for anglers and Australian communities. The main survey is open until mid-May 2020, and you can also participate in monthly surveys that provide more extensive information, if you wish. The more participants, the better the result. Whether you fish one day a year with the family or dozens of times, we need you. Have your say and help support one of Australia's most popular outdoor recreational activities. Plus, each participant has a chance to win one of several prize draws.
