FN0237-RECREATIONAL - General Information - Information regarding online surveys of BC Tidal Waters Sport Fishers
Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) conducts two official internet surveys of BC Tidal Waters Sport Fishing Licence holders to collect data on recreational fishing activity and catch in the tidal waters of British Columbia. The internet Recreational Effort and Catch (iREC) survey is a monthly survey to provide information on fishing activity. The internet Annual Recreational Catch (iARC) survey is an annual survey to provide catch records of Chinook salmon, Lingcod and Halibut. These internet surveys are one of the tools used to estimate tidal waters recreational fishing effort and catch in the Pacific Region. When a fisher purchases a Tidal Waters Sport fishing licence, they may be randomly selected to participate in a survey. It is a condition of Tidal Waters Sport Fishing Licences to respond to the survey. Licence holders can only be selected to participate in one survey for each licence they hold. If selected, a link to the survey will be provided at the bottom of the licence. The surveys are conducted for DFO by PRA Inc. Individual survey responses remain strictly confidential and are protected in accordance with the provisions of the federal Privacy Act: http://laws- lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/P-21/index.html These surveys rely on a commitment from users of the resource to report their fishing activity, so our fisheries can be managed to provide the best sustainable fishing opportunities possible. Thank you for your cooperation and contribution to this important survey.
