Description

A total of 294 commercial fishers, randomly selected from a population possessing an active Florida Saltwater Products license, provided information on their fishing activities within and outside the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, including their use around the no-take zones within the Sanctuary. The fishers also provided socio-demographic, economic, and perceptions data, which served to compare their performance in and views concerning the Sanctuary and its regulations.
