Abstract

In 2016, the ESRI Angler Research Panel was established to collect data on recreational angling, including anglers’ activities and views. In the absence of a national register of anglers and thereby the means to easily collect data on angling activity, the Angler Research Panel is a practical alternative for collecting quantitative data on angling topics. The ESRI uses data collected from panel members to inform its research on the socio-economics of inland fisheries within Ireland, with the objective of providing evidence that will support policy decisions regarding the management of fisheries resources and angling within Ireland. The ESRI’s research programme on the socio-economics of inland fisheries is funded by Inland Fisheries Ireland. Since 2016, angler panel members have been invited to participate in surveys examining aspects of trout, pike and salmon angling, including views on conservation measures. Prior publications associated with the research programme on the socio-economics of inland fisheries are listed in Appendix 1.
