The main objective of the proposed study is to quantify the impact of rod and line sport fishing in the south and south- west coast of Portugal, from Sines on the west coast to the mouth of the Guadiana river on the border with Spain. This will be done by: 1) quantifying the number of fishermen and mapping the distribution of their fishing effort over the year and area, 2) characterising and quantifying the sport fishing catches over a one year period and 3) evaluating the impact of sport fishing by comparison with the landings of professional small-scale fisheries in this area. A secondary objective is to characterize the sport fishermen from the demographic and socio-economic perspective through questionnaire surveys and to evaluate the economic importance of sport fishing at the regional scale by obtaining data on costs and expenditures associated with the sport fishing activity. The study will provide valuable information that can be used to provide guidelines for sustainable management and conservation of inshore fisheries.
