An assessment of the impact of participation in the Oceanographic Research Institute’s Cooperative Fish Tagging Project on angler attitudes and behaviour
Scientific output has proven the value of the Oceanographic Research Institute’s Cooperative Fish Tagging Project (ORI-CFTP) to biological and fisheries research, with more than 95 published manuscripts based on data from the ORI-CFTP. This study reviews the project from the perspective of participating anglers. A total of 267 members of the ORI-CFTP responded to an online survey designed to gather data on the profile of tagging members, their preferred methods of communication, attitudes towards fish tagging and fish conservation in general, changes in angling behaviour since becoming a member of the project, and support for the continuation of the ORI-CFTP. The results reveal that the ORI-CFTP has indeed made a considerable contribution towards improving the conservation ethics and behaviour of marine recreational anglers in South Africa. Improved communication with anglers— both taggers and non-taggers—through the ORI-CFTP has the potential to amplify much-needed conservation information to the broader angling community and thereby enhance environmental awareness. Recommendations on how to improve the ORI-CFTP and other angling-related citizen science projects are provided.
期刊介绍:
The African (formerly South African) Journal of Marine Science provides an international forum for the publication of original scientific contributions or critical reviews, involving oceanic, shelf or estuarine waters, inclusive of oceanography, studies of organisms and their habitats, and aquaculture. Papers on the conservation and management of living resources, relevant social science and governance, or new techniques, are all welcomed, as are those that integrate different disciplines. Priority will be given to rigorous, question-driven research, rather than descriptive research. Contributions from African waters, including the Southern Ocean, are particularly encouraged, although not to the exclusion of those from elsewhere that have relevance to the African context. Submissions may take the form of a paper or a short communication. The journal aims to achieve a balanced representation of subject areas but also publishes proceedings of symposia in dedicated issues, as well as guest-edited suites on thematic topics in regular issues.
