The Marine Recreational Information Program (MRIP) maintains an online database of saltwater fishing access sites that serves as the sample frame for their shoreside survey of recreational anglers. The Site Register (SR) is a database of all access sites along the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts of the United States from which saltwater recreational fin-fishing may occur. Information provided for each site in the SR includes site descriptors, site location, and recreational fishing activity information by fishing mode (fishing from shore, private or rental boat fishing, charter boat fishing, or headboat fishing). The SR database is maintained at NOAA Fisheries and is accessed by private or public guest account on the website: https://www.st.nmfs.noaa.gov/siteregister/html/siteRegister.jsp (or by searching for ‘MRIP Site Register’ in any web browser). The data contained within this data layer was exported from the SR on February 1, 2021. |
