# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

## I. Abstract

The purpose of this information collection is to obtain socioeconomic monitoring information in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary (FKNMS). In 1997, regulations became effective that created a series of “no take zones” in the FKNMS. Monitoring programs are used to test the ecological and socioeconomic impacts of the “no take zones.” Two voluntary data collection efforts support the socioeconomic monitoring program.

The first collection involves a set of four panels on commercial fishing operations, where commercial fishermen will be interviewed to assess financial performance and assess the impacts of Sanctuary regulations. Information on catch, effort, revenues, operating and capital costs will be obtained to do financial performance analysis. Eight years of data collection have been completed and this application is to complete the efforts for years nine through 11. The information on socioeconomic factors for developing profiles of the commercial fishermen such as age, sex, education level, household income, marital status, number of family members, race/ethnicity, percent of income derived from fishing, percent of income derived from study area, years of experience in fishing will be gathered to compare panels with the general commercial fishing population. The data would be collected annually.

                    The second collection will monitor recreational for-hire operations through the use of dive logs for estimating use in the “no take areas” versus other areas for snorkeling, scuba diving and glass-bottom boat rides. Volunteers or a contractor will collect the logbooks monthly.                          ( print page 30524)    

## II. Method of Collection

Face-to-face interviews will generally be used. Dive shops will be requested to share their logbooks.
