Government weather survey

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) set me a survey.

It asks such probing questions as:

In the past 12 months, have I participated in recreational saltwater fishing?

In the past 12 months, have I been scuba diving.?

In the past 12 months, have I been to the beach or coastal park?

It also asks if I get my weather forecasts from TV, Internet, radio, newspaper or some other source.

If I tell 'em I went to the beach last year, do you think it will help the government provide better weather forecasts? Or have an impact on some other government program?

I wonder how much NOAA spends on surveys like this.
