CT Anglers ...

The Connecticut DEP plans to distribute a coastal recreation access survey
to interested persons. The purpose of this survey is to better understand
the public's coastal recreation needs and to better assess demand for the
recreational uses along Connecticut's coast including: bird/wildlife
observation, fishing, shellfishing, crabbing, hunting, hiking, and boating
(including canoeing/kayaking). The CT-DEP has developed three surveys to
target specific interest groups. These surveys are differentiated as
follows: 1) Sal****er Angling and Waterfowl Hunting, 2) Coastal Boating, 3)
Wildlife Observation. The data obtained from these surveys will be used to
help identify and prioritize land acquisitions that meet the identified
needs, and to promote recreational facility improvements along the coast.

Please contact the CT-DEP Office of Long Island Sound Programs if you would
be interested in completing one of the above surveys. You can call
860-424-3034 to request a survey or email Susan Fox at
to request a survey. In addition to receiving the
survey, we will also mail you a copy of the CT-Coastal Access Guide. We
appreciate your help!
