collected through a combination of mail surveys, telephone surveys and
on-site intercept surveys with recreational anglers. The procedures
utilized to this effect will include but are not limited to experiments
with levels of incentives for various types of survey operations, focus
groups, cognitive laboratory activities, pilot testing, exploratory
interviews, experiments with questionnaire design, and usability
testing of electronic data collection instruments.
