Research Assistants are indispensable to our project. They conduct intercept surveys with shore anglers and collaborate with local tackle shops to recruit participants. They play a crucial role in our data collection process, engaging directly with anglers to gather valuable insights and feedback. Additionally, they establish and nurture relationships with tackle shops, effectively communicating the purpose of our survey and encouraging angler participation. By working closely with our team, Research Assistants ensure the success and accuracy of our research endeavors, contributing significantly to the advancement of our project goals.
