Give it up for Salem State alum Rob Bollmann '17 for contributing to fishing sustainabilty for the future as Access Point Angler Intercept Survey interviewer!

Meet Rob Bollmann, Access Point Angler Intercept Survey (APAIS) interviewer with Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries since 2024. He loves fly fishing for trout on blue ribbon streams and chasing bass in lakes and ponds. Rob graduated from Salem State University and double majored in biology and chemistry. He’s currently working on his master’s degree in fisheries management through Oregon State University.

APAIS is one of NOAA Fisheries Service recreational fishing surveys. It gathers catch information from anglers as they complete their fishing trips. Specially trained state interviewers like Rob conduct the survey at marinas, boat ramps, beaches, piers, and other public fishing access sites.

If you see Rob or other state interviewers at the docks, help make your catch count by providing your fishing trip info when requested. These interviewers play no role in law enforcement. The info is used to support optimal fishing opportunities while ensuring sustainable fish stocks for future generations.

“SSU Bold is truly a transformational and exciting project for our campus. It's been in the works for almost 20 years. In fact, I worked with President Harrington and President Meservey when I took this role, making sure that it was advanced, modernizing our campus while also unifying at campus.”
- President John D. Keenan
