Figures & data

Table 1. The number of initial mailings, undeliverables, completed surveys, and response rates for each region.

Table 2. Catch motivations for fishing trips from the survey question: “On most of your fishing trips, how important is it to…?”

Table 3. Harvest, catch-and-release, access, and allocation and habitat management strategies.

Table 4. Management outcome and management process objectives.

Table 5. Results of the binomial logit model for satisfaction with the management process. Coefficients (coeff.; β) can be interpreted as the rate of change in the satisfaction log odds. For example, in Alaska, for a 1-unit increase of the variable “catch fish,” the likelihood of satisfaction increases by a factor of e1.4880 (eβx), holding all other variables constant; F = the individual regional model specified for that column; z = P < 0.01; y = P < 0.05; x = P < 0.1.

Table 6. Results of logit analysis for satisfaction with the management outcome across all regions. Coefficients (coeff.; β) can be interpreted as the rate of change in the satisfaction log odds. For example, in Alaska, for a 1-unit increase of the variable “catch the bag limit,” the likelihood of satisfaction increases by a factor of e0.8875 (eβx), holding all other variables constant; F = the individual regional model specified for that column; z = P < 0.01; y = P < 0.05; x = P < 0.1.
