The Economic Importance of Marine Angler Expenditures in the United States; Selected Results (original) (raw)

Abstract

In 1998, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) launched a series of marine recreational angler expenditure survey in the Northeast (NE) management region (Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia). This series was extended to the Southeast (SE) management region (North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana) in 1999 and the Pacific (PAC) management region (California, Oregon, and Washington) in 2000. These surveys were designed to collect the data needed to estimate average and total angler expenditures, by state and resident status, on trip expenses and durable goods for use in economic impact assessment. These estimates are currently being used to develop economic impacts, by state and by the United States (US) as a whole, using IMPLAN, a ready-made input-output model. This report briefly summarizes the methodologies used to estimate expenditures and econom...
