Metadata: Sea Angling Diary Catch, Participation and Economic Estimates 2016-2021
Abstract:
Modelled estimates of the participation, catch and economic impact of recreational sea angling taken from the Sea Angling Diary project in the UK from 2016 onwards which collects user responses via an app.

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | The Sea Angling Diary programme has been running since 2016 with the aim of estimating the number of sea anglers, how often they fish, what they catch, and the social and economic benefits that they generate. This is done through combining the outputs from two surveys: a survey of 12,000 individuals that generates estimates of the numbers of anglers and their characteristics; and sea anglers that volunteer as ‘citizen scientists’ to report their catches through the Sea Angling Diary with separate surveys for volunteers to report their spend on Sea Angling in 2016, 2017 and 2021. These estimates are combined accounting for differences in characteristics of sea anglers to generate the numbers and tonnages of fish kept and released by sea anglers in the UK as well as the economic impact of sea angling. To estimate the participation and effort by UK sea anglers, questions were added to a survey of 12,000 residents (Watersports Participation Survey - WPS). Due to COVID restrictions, it was not possible to do face-to-face surveys as in 2016-19. Instead, data from the WPS from 2016-19 were modelled and used to derive estimates for 2016-2020 for the UK. This approach utilised all existing data to generate estimates for the total number of UK anglers and days fished with more consistent and robust results than previous annual estimates. Sea anglers signed up to the Sea Angling Diary provide data on their fishing sessions and report catches of fish. These data were used to model the number of fish kept and released by individual sea anglers each year and the weights of individual fish. Numbers of sea anglers were combined with diary panel estimates of catch per angler, to estimate total UK catches, after correcting for differences between the diary sample and the UK population. Economic estimates were generated from separate surveys of the diarist panel in 2016, 2017 and 2021 as part of the sea angling diary project. Expenditure on trips and major items (capital) was collected from the sample of sea anglers and raised to the total population of UK sea anglers using information generated from the estimates of the participation and effort by UK sea anglers. The total economic impact, Gross Value Added (GVA), and employment supported by sea angling in the UK in 2016, 2017 and 2021 were estimated using an Input-Output method. In this, taxes were removed, and expenditure partitioned between industrial sectors accounting for imports. |
