Program adjustments were reported in this analysis. Previous analyses used the total potential respondents to calculate the numbers. This analysis uses the number of active respondents as a more accurate number. Previous analyses used a complicated scenario of respondents in a boat and number of hooks per respondent to determine number of buoys needing marking. This analysis uses the number of active respondents using one buoy, and an estimate of 50% of the buoys that would need repainting
