Processes

How the source was modified: Only a subset of a larger dataset known as the Coastal Fisheries Resource Monitoring dataset or Fisheries-Independent Resource Monitoring dataset was used for the graph. Here is a link to a review and description (page 12) done by American Fisheries Society: https://tpwd.texas.gov/publications/nonpwdpubs/media/afs_fisheries_divisions_science_review_report.pdf There is not a URL for the dataset but the data are available upon request from TPWD. Data can be requested from Mark Fisher at mark.fisher@tpwd.texas.gov
