The National Recreational Fishing Survey (NRFS) is identifying the range of economic and social values of fishing for fishers, businesses and communities across Australia.

The survey will measure the physical, mental and economic impact recreational fishing has on those who love to cast a line.

For recreational fishers, this study may seem to have an obvious outcome, as it is common for fishers to say that fishing makes them feel good and is vital to their survival!
