摘要:A 12-month survey of recreational estuarine shore and boat-based fishing in the South Coast
bioregion of Western Australia was conducted between December 2002 and November 2003.
A total of 17 estuary and inlet locations were surveyed using creel, bus route and census
methods to determine recreational catch and fishing effort. While not included in this survey
the recreational fishing activity using nets and from charter boats is negligible (<2 % effort) in
estuaries on the South Coast.
During the survey, 534 boat-based fishing groups were interviewed at public boat ramps when
they returned from their fishing trips and 927 shore-based fishing groups were interviewed while
fishing at locations around estuaries or inlets on the South Coast. In addition, a census was
used to collect data from 132 groups fishing from houseboats rented in Walpole/Nornalup and
Oyster Harbour.
