The Monthly Municipal Fisheries Survey is a statistical inquiry on municipal fishing that is conducted on an every-other-day frequency. Contractual Data Collectors (CDCs) are hired to conduct the survey of fishing boats unloading at the sample fish landing center. Data are gathered through actual interviews of respondents during peak unloading time using a structured questionnaire prepared at the Central Office of the BAS. The target respondents are the fisherman, fishing boat operators, and any knowledgeable crew of the fishing boat.
The general objective of the activity is to generate information on the monthly volume of fish catch by fishing ground, by fishing gear and by species at the provincial, regional and national levels. Collection of municipal fisheries data is a probability survey done in places called fish landing centers where fishing boats of three (3) gross tons and less unload and trade their catch. There are two (2) types of municipal fish landing centers, the traditional and those managed by the Philippine Fisheries Development Authority (PFDA) and local government units (LGUs).
Monthly municipal fisheries survey differs from quarterly survey in terms of number of variables gathered during the survey. Major objective of both surveys is to generate volume and value of fish catch by species by province.

Sampling
The list of traditional municipal fish landing centers by province is the sampling frame used for the monthly survey of municipal fisheries. This survey utilizes a stratified random sampling with the province as the domain. The average volume of unloadings per day is the variable used in the stratification of the fish landing centers into three (3) strata, namely:
Stratum 1 - consists of the top producing or major fish landing centers
Stratum 2 - consists of the minor producing fish landing centers
Stratum 3- consists of all other fish landing centers
The landing center serves as the primary sampling unit while the fishing boat serves as secondary sampling unit. Simple random sampling is used in drawing the sample landing centers from the stratum. The number of sample fish landing centers varies by province depending on the resources available for payment of wages of CDCs.
For 2009, funds allocated for the conduct of this activity allowed to cover samples of 40 provinces only for three (3) months survey: April, May and June. Total number of sample landing centers was 294. Breakdown of number of samples by stratum was as follows:
Stratum 1 - 155 samples out of total 220
Stratum 2 - 88 samples out of total 1584
Stratum 3 - 51 samples out of total 4667
For the remaining months of the year, quarterly surveys were carried out in those sampled provinces. Quarterly surveys in non-sample provinces were conducted throughout the year.
CDCs are instructed to do simple random sampling of boats unloading at the fish landing center. CDCs are reminded to have samples of every type of fishing gear used by the fishermen during the survey date and to have as many samples as he/she can. But if the number of unloading boats is 15 or less, a complete enumeration of boats shall be done.

Response rate for monthly municipal fisheries survey is 100%.
A raising factor derived from the total number of municipal fish landing centers over the number of samples by stratum is used to expand results of monthly surveys. This expansion factor varies from one province to another.

Face-to-face [f2f]
The Regional Agricultural Statistics Officer (RASO) is responsible for the regional level monitoring and supervision of the survey operations of the Provincial Operations Centers.
The Provincial Agricultural Statistical Officer (PASO) is the over-all supervisor in the province. As field supervisor, the PASO should ensure accuracy of data collection, completeness of the accomplished survey forms. Part of the PASO's tasks is the conduct of spot-checking and back-checking on the work of data collectors. Number of data collectors depends on the number of sample fish landing centers in the province .

Data collectors use MMFS Form 1 in the collection of monthly fisheries data in traditional municipal fish landing centers. It is a one-page questionnaire in the English language. One form is intended for several boats unloading for the day. If a fishing boat unloads several species, CDCs could use several forms as needed.
MMFS Form 1 is a listing sheet type of form. It contains several data variables that includes general information on the sample fish landing center and information on boat, fishing effort, fish unloading, total volume of fish unloadings, summary of unloadings for the day by gear type and remarks.

Data Processing
Data editing and data review processes start at the POCs. Inputs for the review include the survey returns, the summary sheets, the list of samples and expansion factors used. Prior to encoding, manual editing of accomplished questionnaires is done for completeness and consistency of entries. Codes used for species, gears and fishing grounds are validated. Correctness of units of measurement used for volume and price are checked.
Total number of boats and number of sample boats and correspondingly the number of landing centers and number of collection days are likewise checked as these are used in the estimation.
First to check is the completeness of the questionnaires as to the number of samples. Missing data and unacceptable responses are reviewed. Correctness of units of measurement used for volume and price are also checked. Out of range prices are verified. Manual editing is done not only for completeness of desired information like volume and price by species but also for consistency of entries. Codes used for species, gears and fishing grounds are likewise checked.

Data Appraisal
Provincial and regional estimates of production are further validated through the use of auxiliary information and conduct of interviews of knowledgeable people in the fishing industry. Impact of different programs and policies implemented by the BFAR on performance of catch of fishermen is also considered. Use of time series data by province and by species for catch comparison is also one way of appraising survey results. Computed change in production is reviewed for acceptability.
