More than 2,000 licensed Gulf of Mexico
charter boat captains from Texas to Florida will be asked how they
see the health of the recreational fishing industry.
Louisiana Sea Grant, LSU's Center for Natural Resource Economics
and Policy and the state Department of Wildlife and Fisheries have
a $650,000, three-year federal grant for the project.
It will include a survey of charter fishing in the northern Gulf
of Mexico and a review of recently implemented red-snapper rules.
Surveys will be mailed in April. Participating fishermen will
get paid, but officials haven't yet determined how much.
