attribute	NC_GLOBAL	summary	String	The International Billfish Angler Survey of the Cooperative Billfish Tagging Program (CBTP) provides estimates of billfish angling activities in the Pacific and Indian Oceans from voluntary self-reported angler surveys occurring since 1969. The CBTP sends out surveys (hardcopy from 1969 to 2017, digital from 2017 to 2019) to participating anglers at the beginning of each calendar year to report their catch and effort in the prior year. Anglers report the number of whole fishing days per fishing location as yearly effort, and report billfish catch (kept or released) by species at each location. The data presented cover the calendar years 1984-2019 and is grouped by individual angler, year, and location for the following summed metrics: fishing effort (whole days), blue marlin catch, black marlin catch, striped marlin catch, spearfish catch, and swordfish catch.
