U. S. Fish & Wildlife Service 49 Metropolitan and Nonmetropolitan Nonresidential Participants A substantial number of people from both urban and rural areas enjoyed wildlifewatching activities while away from home. In 2001, 10 percent of all persons living in metropolitan statistical areas ( MSAs) took trips primarily to enjoy wildlife. They comprised 76 percent of all nonresidential participants. Those living in large MSAs with populations of 1,000,000 or more participated at a rate of 9 percent and represented 46 percent of all those recreationists. The participation rate for people living in medium size MSAs with populations of 250,000 to 999,999 was 10 percent   19 percent of all nonresidential participants. Smaller MSAs with populations of 50,000 to 249,999 had a participation rate of 13 percent and represented 10 percent of all nonresidential recreationists. People living outside MSAs had a participation rate of 13 percent, and accounted for 24 percent of all away from home wildlife watchers. Percent of U. S.

Six percent of the U. S. population with 11 years of education or less participated, representing 8 percent of the nonresidential total. In contrast, 18 percent of the population with 5 years or more of college took trips to watch wildlife, representing 17 percent of all nonresidential participants. Those with 12 years of education had an 8 percent participation rate and represented 27 percent of the nonresidential total. Participants with 1 to 3 years of college participated at a rate of 12 percent, contributing 27 percent to the nonresidential total. Lastly, 13 percent of those with 4 years of college participated in nonresidential activities, making up 20 percent of all nonresidential participants.

The participation rates among races varied greatly. Eleven percent of all White individuals took trips in the United States in 2001 to participate in wildlifewatching activities. Two percent of all Black individuals participated, 2 percent of Asians, and 13 percent of individuals comprising the " other" race category. Of the total 21.8 million nonresidential participants, 95 percent were White, 2 percent Black, 1 percent Asian, and 1 percent other races.

The Hispanic and Non Hispanic populations alike participated in nonresidential wildlife watching in 2001. Approximately 890 thousand Hispanic participants   4 percent of the U. S. Hispanic population   took trips to engage in wildlife watching. Of the Non Hispanic population, more than 20.9 million participants took trips to wildlife watch. Their participation rate was 11 percent, and they comprised 96 percent of all nonresidential wildlife watchers. Percent of U. S.

Fish & Wildlife Service 1991 2001 Comparison of Wildlife Watching Participants Comparing the results from the last three surveys finds different trends for the various types of wildlife watching. The number of wildlife watchers decreased 17 percent from 1991 to 1996 and increased 5 percent from 1996 to 2001, with 76 million participants in 1991, 63 million in 1996, and 66 million in 2001. Residential wildlife watching, the preeminent type of wildlife watching, lead this trend with an 18 percent drop from 1991 to 1996 and a 4 percent increase1 from 1996 to 2001. The overall tendency upward from 1996 to 2001 was not followed by wildlife observing and photographing, which decreased by 5 percent and 13 percent, respectively ( although these are not significant differences at the 95 percent confidence level). Feeding wildlife and visiting public parks maintained their 1996 participation levels.

Unlike residential wildlife watching, nonresidential wildlife watching dropped throughout the ` 90s and early ` 00s with a 21 percent drop from 1991 to 1996 and an 8 percent drop1 from 1996 to 2001. Days afield by participants tended upward, particularly observers and feeders, although the increase is not statistically significant. Trip related and equipment expenditures for wildlife watching increased 21 percent from 1991 to 1996 and 16 percent1 from 1996 to 2001, making an overall increase of 41 percent from 1991 to 2001. This increase was the result of equipment purchases, primarily special equipment ( big ticket items such as off road vehicles and campers). Equipment purchases nearly doubled from 1991 to 2001, going up 90 percent. Trip related expenditures by nonresidential participants tended downward from 1991 to 2001, with $ 9.7 billion spent in 1991 and $ 8.2 billion in 2001.

1The percent change is not significant at the 0.05 level.

Fish & Wildlife Service Purpose and Coverage of Tables The statistical tables of this report were designed to meet a wide range of needs for those interested in wildlife related recreation. Special terms used in these tables are defined in Appendix A.

The tables are based on responses to the 2001 Survey which was designed to collect data about participation in wildlife related recreation. To have taken part in the Survey, a respondent must have been a U. S. resident ( a resident of one of the 50 states or the District of Columbia). No one residing outside the United States ( including U. S. citizens) was eligible for interviewing. Therefore, reported state and national totals do not include participation by those who were not U. S. residents or who were residing outside the United States.

Comparability With Previous Surveys The numbers reported can be compared with those in the 1991 and 1996 Survey Reports. The methodology used in 2001 was similar to that used in 1996 and 1991. These results should not be directly compared to results from surveys earlier than 1991 since there were major changes in methodology. These changes were made to improve accuracy in the information provided. Trends further back than 1991 are presented in Appendix B. These trends were developed using parts of the Surveys that were comparable.

Coverage of an Individual Table Since the Survey covers many activities in various places by participants of different ages, all table titles, headnotes, stubs, and footnotes are designed to identify and articulate each item being reported in the table. For example, the title of Table 1 shows that data about anglers and hunters, their days of participation, and their number of trips are being reported by type of activity. By contrast, the title of Table 3 indicates that it contains data on freshwater anglers and the days they fished for different species of fish. Percentages Reported in the Tables Percentages are reported in the tables for the convenience of the user. When exclusive groups are being reported, the base of a percentage is apparent from its context because the percents add to 100 percent ( plus or minus a rounding error). For example, Table 1 reports the number of trips taken by big game hunters ( 57 percent), those taken by small game hunters ( 23 percent), those taken by migratory bird hunters ( 12 percent), and those taken by sportspersons hunting other animals ( 8 percent). These comprise 100 percent because they are exclusive categories.

Percents should not add to 100 when nonexclusive groups are being reported. Using Table 1 as an example again, note that adding the percentages associated with total number of big game hunters ( 84 percent), total small game hunters ( 42 percent), total migratory bird hunters ( 23 percent), and total hunters of other animals ( 8 percent) will not yield total hunters ( 100 percent) because respondents could hunt for more than one type of game.

When the base of the percentage is not apparent in context, it is identified in a footnote. For example, Table 6 reports 3 percentages with different bases: one for the number of hunters, one for the number of trips, and one for days of hunting. Footnotes are used to clarify the bases of the reported percentages.

Footnotes to the Tables Footnotes are used to clarify the information or items that are being reported in a table. Symbols in the body of a table indicate important footnotes. These symbols are used in the tables to refer to the same footnote each time they appear:

* Estimate based on a small sample size.

... Sample size too small to report data reliably.

W Less than .5 dollars.

Z Less than .5 percent.

X Not applicable.

NA Not available. Estimates based upon fewer than 10 responses are regarded as being based on a sample size that is too small for reliable reporting. An estimate based upon at least 10 but fewer than 30 responses is treated as an estimate based on a small sample size. Other footnotes appear, as necessary, to qualify or clarify the estimates reported in the tables. In addition, these two important footnotes appear frequently:

° Detail does not add to total because of multiple responses.

° Detail does not add to total because of multiple responses and nonresponse.

" Multiple responses" is a term used to reflect the fact that individuals or their characteristics fall into more than one category. Using Table 2 as an example, those who fished in saltwater and freshwater appear in both of these totals. Yet each angler is represented only once in the " Total, all fishing" column. Similarly, in Table 6 those who hunt for big game and small game are counted only once as a hunter in the " Total, all hunting" column. Therefore, totals may be smaller than the sum of subcategories when multiple responses exist.

" Nonresponse" exists because the Survey questions were answered voluntarily and some respondents did not or could not answer all the questions. The effect of nonresponses is illustrated in Table 12, where the total for fishing and hunting expenditures is greater than the sum of fishing expenditures plus hunting expenditures. This occurs because some respondents did not specify either " hunting" or " fishing" as the primary purpose of the purchase. As a result, it is known that the expenditures were for fishing and/ or hunting, but it is not known whether they were primarily for fishing or primarily for hunting, which was the basis for putting them in the individual fishing and hunting expenditure tables.
