Usage notes

The estimates of official recreational fishing days, expenditures, and licences in this application are available for ease of use and accessibility.

The data includes expenditures and fishing days on major species, regions, and trip types from our Internet Socio-Economic (iSEA) survey of tidal water recreational fishing in B.C. databases. Data reflects fishing efforts and has been aggregated for privacy reasons.

Survey results presented in this dashboard have been weighted in order to scale results to the population level. Additionally, fields such as fishing days and expenditures were calculated by distributing reported values across species, spatial and trip categories. The values have been rounded.
