Default Part Time Field Interviewers Needed - Fishing Related

Saw this on craigslist and thought maybe someone would be interested. The pay is ridiculous; I can't imagine even a college kid doing this for the summer.

It would be nice to have someone knowlegable in this position though.

Field interviewers travel to assigned sites to interview anglers about their fishing experiences, collect a variety of information, and (when possible) weigh, measure, and identify fish that the anglers have caught. Assigned sites can include beaches, banks, piers, docks, jetties, and access points for private, charter, and head boats, including marinas, boat ramps and other points of entry to marine waters. Field interviewers are responsible for filling out surveys with anglers at these sites in addition to completing other study forms.
