Don't know what it's for or what it gets done but just filled mine out for next year.

Its to keep track of how many anglers who are not required to have a state license actually fish in saltwater.
This helps AL-MRD with their license numbers, which in turn impacts how much Sportfish Restoration funds they receive.
Also figures into angler effort estimates.Carl
