The Delphi technique : a potential methodology for evaluating recreational fisheries

The Delphi technique, a methodology for systematically developing expert opinion consensus, is suggested as an approach for generating recreational fishery data. This paper describes the Delphi technique, cites an example of how it has been applied in water resource management, and discusses the results of a Delphi experiment which was designed to provide an estimate of the recreational (diver) catch of spiny lobsters from Florida waters.
