Polish Pilot Study – development of methods for monitoring of recreational fisheries Adam M. Lejk , Łukasz Dziemian Department of Logistics and Monitoring, National Marine Fisheries Research Institute, Gdynia HELCOM FISH PRO III Meeting, Helsinki, Finland, 12 th to 14 th February 2019

Pilot study 2017-2018 Aim: 1. Testing methods for monitoring of recreational fisheries in Polish marine waters, 2. Identification of fishing areas, 3. Identification of potential issues, 4. Analysis of formal procedures, law. Two moduls: trolling and shore fishing. Target species: salmon, sea trout, cod, eel.

Polish coast

Interviews – on-site survey Roving creel survey Harbors (trolling), • On-board (trolling), • Shore (surfcasting). • Mobile App

Off-site survey Web-based survey - started in March 2018, - concers only 2017, - targeting sea recreational fishing. Available on: http://mir.gdynia.pl/ankieta-wedkarska/

Self-sampling Concers only trolling fishing - started in November 2017, - volountary participation, - inviting trolling boat skippers, - targeting salmon and sea trout.

Boat counting 10 harbors/marinas 4 – western part 6 – eastern part

CCTV monitoring Two locations: 1. Hel 2. Gdańsk (Górki Zachodnie) 1 Why? - potential high importance - available infrastructure 2

Preliminary findings Trolling Two salmon fishing areas, • Four main harbors (Hel, Gdynia, Gdańsk Górki Zachodnie, Kołobrzeg), • Low level of trust, • Very closed community, • Interviews - response rate harbor-dependent. • Surfcasting Distributed along Polish coast (not aggregated ), • High level of trust, • High response rate. •

Challenges, ideas, thoughts…. • First task , start with information campaign, • On-site surveys – time - and cost-consuming vs. obtained results, • Web-based survey – low response rate.
