SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    This request is for a new information collection.
    Through a partnership with The Rosenstiel School of Marine and 
Atmospheric Science at the University of Miami, we will collect 
information from recreational fishers to complete quantitative economic 
valuations of ecosystem goods and services produced for recreational 
fisheries in Florida's Gulf Coast. The survey will utilize the stated 
choice method to estimate the marginal value of a change in catch rates 
and other biological or economic attributes of the recreational 
fishery. These may include; size, type of fish and/or method of 
fishing.
    This information will be utilized by Florida Fish and Wildlife 
Conservation Commission (FFWCC) and the National Marine Fisheries 
Service, Southeast Fisheries Science Center (SEFSC) fisheries 
scientists and managers to enhance the scope of information used for 
stock assessment. Additionally, this economic data will be integrated 
into the recreational fisheries management decision-making processes. 
The information will directly benefit Office of National Marine 
Sanctuaries (ONMS), as it will help us to identify socioeconomic 
indicators for recreational fishing that we can incorporate into 
management process/decisions and future condition reports to evaluate 
the status and trends of the recreational fishing ecosystem service.

II. Method of Collection

    Internet and mail.

III. Data

    OMB Control Number: 0648-XXXX.
