UK Sea Angling Diary Catch, Participation and Economic Estimates 2016-2021

UK estimates for recreational sea angling participation, catch, and economic impact from 2016 onward. The data is modelled from user responses collected via the Sea Angling Diary app. The Marine Environmental Data & Information Network is the listed organization.

Use Cases

• Modeling the economic contribution of recreational fishing based on estimated economic impact.
• Tracking trends in recreational fishing participation over time based on the 2016-2021 time series.
• Analyzing catch rates and species composition based on the catch data mentioned in the description.
• Informing marine conservation and fisheries management policy based on user-reported activity data.

Strengths

• Data covers a multi-year time series from 2016 to 2021.
• Estimates are derived from a dedicated data collection app, suggesting a structured collection method.
• The dataset provides three distinct modelled estimates: participation, catch, and economic impact.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic or self-selection bias inherent to app-based user responses.
