HAWAII SMALL BOAT SURVEYNOAA’s Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center conducted the 2014 Hawaii Small Boat Survey to better understand the important economic and cultural contributions that small boat fishing provides to the State of Hawaii. Surveys were mailed out during the summer of 2014 to 1,763 Commercial Marine License (CML) holders who had fished and sold at least one fish in 2013. An online version of the survey was also available.
The 1,763 CML holders included fishermen who fish in seamounts or target shrimp. These fishermen are excluded in the data summarized in this brochure, as well as charters or those who fish with kayaks.
