was considered completed.<br />

b <strong>The</strong> number <strong>of</strong> surveys mailed <strong>in</strong> Florida exceeded <strong>the</strong> number <strong>of</strong> MRIP addresses collected<br />

because <strong>the</strong> majority <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> angler addresses used <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> mail<strong>in</strong>g orig<strong>in</strong>ated from CML license<br />
