Since the Coast Guard has not adjusted the survey to the comment outlined in #4, this recommendation does not apply as respondents are not specifically asked about their own experiences with Coast Guard enforcement. 6. The survey clarify what animals are managed under the Marine Mammal Protection Act. The Coast Guard chose to not change this question because (1) an exhaustive list of all marine mammals fishermen are likely to encounter would be prohibitively long, and not listing marine mammals could prevent respondents from answering the question correctly and (2) the majority of fishermen already understand what species are covered under the Marine Mammal Protection Act.. 7. The Coast Guard modify the responses to the question ‘‘If a National Marine Sanctuary exists in the area where you fish, how doe its existence impact the abundance of the fishery’s target species?’’ The Coast Guard has modified this question in response to this recommendation. 8. The Coast Guard provide a single direct link to the survey that does not require respondents to go through the Federal Register. This was the original intent of the Coast Guard, the PRA package has been modified to correctly reflect this. 9. The Coast Guard include an option for paper surveys to be delivered by mail to those who request one. Providing a paper survey option is cost prohibitive. The Coast Guard shares the respondent’s desire to maximize the population for which this survey is accessible, and therefore will consider alternate options such as providing internet access during public events to complete the survey. 10. The survey period be extended to better accommodate fishermen whose peak fishing coincides with the survey time. The Coast Guard agrees with this comment and will keep the survey open for an adequate period of time to facilitate survey responses from all fisheries participants.
