Abstract
Georgians represent 96 percent of the recreational saltwater fishing in the state. Using IMPLAN®, this study evaluates the economic importance associated with the activity in both the coastal region and the state as a whole. Six scenarios are examined to determine the extent of economic activity. These scenarios include a base case for the coastal region, elimination of recreational saltwater fishing from the coastal region and state’s economy, and a 25 percent increase in coastal and state recreational saltwater fishing by the year 2005. The analysis indicates the significance of recreational saltwater fishing in Georgia’s coastal and statewide economies.
