Pacific Tidal Recreational Fishing Survey, 2022

The primary data source used for this report was the Internet Socioeconomic Analysis (iSEA) Survey of Tidal Water Recreational Fishing in British Columbia, 2022. This survey was administered by DFO Pacific and collected socioeconomic information on tidal water recreational fishing activity in British Columbia (BC) throughout the 2022 fishing season (from April 2022-March 2023). The survey questions were organized into two sections – fishing effort (days), and fishing expenditures. A random sample of 40,000 individuals, who purchased a tidal water fishing licence in the 2022 season, were selected to complete the survey. In total, 11,545 individuals completed the survey in full, resulting in an effective sample rate of 4%.
