    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.

    On the east coast they use registry to survey angler effort and results. I've never been called.
