NJDEP Fish and Wildlife’s Bureau of Marine Fisheries uses the Recreational Saltwater Volunteer Angler Survey to collect information on recreationally important marine finfish species. Information collected through this voluntary survey provides data that may support alternative management strategies that increase fishing opportunities for the public. These data are also used in fish stock assessments.

This is your chance to be part of the process!

While these data are needed from all species, and we encourage you to report data for all species, we are attempting to explore summer flounder and black sea bass measures in depth, and to that end have developed a form for those species specifically!

Please report data using whichever platform you find easiest, as there are four options. All are available online; hard copies can be requested by emailing marine_survey@dep.nj.gov:
