CT Recreational Angler Interviewer

The Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission is seeking qualified applicants for the position of Recreational Angler Interviewer in Connecticut. As Recreational Angler Interviewer, the incumbent will conduct the field portion of the Access-Point Angler Intercept Survey (APAIS). This important research study, sponsored by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) conducts face-to-face interviews with marine recreational anglers.

Field staff will travel to assigned sites to interview anglers about their fishing experiences, and (when possible) weigh, measure, and identify angler catch to the species level. Assigned sites can include beaches, banks, piers, docks, jetties, and access points for private, charter, and head boats, including marinas, boat ramps and other points of entry to marine waters.

While an ASMFC employee, the Fisheries Technician reports to the state supervisor on a daily basis. State supervisors make decisions concerning hiring and performance evaluations of the Fisheries Technician.
