Abstract
Desfosse et al examine the feasibility of using remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPAS) for recreational fishing surveys in Western Australia. Accurate data on recreational fishing activity are required for the sustainable management of many fisheries resources in Western Australia. As such, recreational fishing surveys play a crucial role in providing estimates of participation, fishing effort and recreational catches. A key part of designing recreational fishing surveys involves the selection of the most suitable survey design and data collection tool to match the desired management objective. Recreational fishing surveys should also incorporate probability-based survey designs to enable data collected from a random sample to be expanded to the whole population.
