This Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service (CFDA 15.628 Multistate Conservation Grant Program) provides $147,587 to the American Sportfishing Association (ASA) to conduct research on reducing "churn rates" - the high percentage of anglers who do not renew their fishing licenses each year. The project will survey anglers who purchased licenses in 2022 but did not renew in 2023 to understand their reasons and preferences, in order to identify strategies for improving license renewal and increasing participation in recreational fishing. The results will be shared broadly with state agencies, non-profits, and the sportfishing industry to enhance the effectiveness of their license renewal and marketing efforts, ultimately increasing fishing license sales and excise tax revenues. This work supports the Multistate Conservation Grant Program's goal of strengthening wildlife conservation and outdoor recreation across the United States.
