A 2017 report, Review of the Marine Recreational Information Program discusses the difficulty of collecting necessary data on recreational fisheries. In some cases, enforcement of catch limits requires short recreational fishing seasons, further complicating data collection, monitoring, and management. The Modernizing Recreational Fisheries Management Act of 2018 called for a National Academies study on how well the Marine Recreational Information Program meets the needs of in-season management of fisheries with annual catch limits (ACLs). This study will also consider how survey methods or management strategies might be modified to better meet those needs.
