Download or read book Freshwater Recreational Fishing written by William J. Vaughan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-09-16 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, signed into law in 1972, dramatically redirected the nation’s water pollution control efforts and set out ambitious national goals, expressed both in terms of discharge controls and of resulting water quality. Originally published in 1982, this title examines the benefits that a reduction in the discharge of water pollutants has for recreational fisherman including an increase in the total availability of fishable natural water bodies and an improvement in the aesthetic quality of the fishing experience. It is a valuable resource for students interested in environmental studies and public policy making.

Book Synopsis Measuring Recreational Fishing Benefits in a Multiple Site Framework by : Pei-Chien Lin
Download or read book Measuring Recreational Fishing Benefits in a Multiple Site Framework written by Pei-Chien Lin and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The management options chosen by decision makers in managing wildlife and fisheries have different effects for diverse user groups. As a result, natural resource management agencies often seek information to evaluate the effects of alternative policies on the benefits provided to different constituencies. Over the past decade, economists have developed techniques to measure the benefits provided by such nonmarket goods. The random utility model (RUM), a variant of the travel cost model (TCM), is one of the techniques developed by economists to measure benefits associated with changes in the quantity or quality of nonmarket goods. The advantages of using RUN over other techniques are that the substitution effects among different sites providing similar recreational activities or services can be incorporated into the model to avoid overestimating the benefits provided by a certain site. Redacted for Privacy RUM is used in this thesis to measure the welfare changes caused by a reduction in fishing quality or closure of one of the sites in a recreational fishing area. The focus of this study is the spring chinook recreational fishery in the lower Willamette River. The 1988 Willamette Run Spring Chinook Survey and the 1988 Willamette River Spring Chinook Salmon Run Report, published by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, provide the data set to do this research. Three definitions of travel costs, TC1, TC2, and TC3 are derived from the data set and used alternatively in the RUM framework. Specific objectives of this thesis include: (1) estimate how the attributes of a site (travel cost, congestion level and fishing quality of the site) will affect the individual's site choice; and (2) estimate the welfare changes arising from the two hypothetical policies which change the quality of fishing experience and which restrict the access of anglers to a certain fishing site. The results indicate that fishing sites on the Willamette River are more attractive to anglers if the fishing quality is increased, if more people visit, and if the site is relatively inexpensive to reach. The results of the elasticities of probabilities show that the travel cost has the largest effect on individual site choice decision. For different definitions of travel costs, the estimated welfare losses caused by the first hypothetical policy (of a reduction in fishing. success) for a representative angler in the sample are $ 0.37, $ 0.91, and $ 0.47 respectively, per trip. For different definitions of travel costs, the aggregate welfare losses associated with this hypothetical policy are $ 82,309, $ 202,436, and $ 104,555. For different definitions of travel costs, the estimated welfare losses caused by the second hypothetical policy (a closure of one site) for a representative angler in the sample are $ 3.82, $ 54.91, and $ 4.83 per trip respectively. The aggregate welfare losses associated with this hypothetical policy are $ 849,786, $ 12,215,114, and $ 1,074,467 respectively for TC1, TC2, and TC3. Assuming that these two policies achieved the same objectives, the policy implication of these results is that the first policy is preferred because the welfare loss is much smaller than the second one. There is a methodological implication suggested by one of the findings. A few of the individual results obtained from the model with TC2 travel cost violate the assumption of utility maximization. This implies that TC2 may over-value the opportunity cost of time in the travel cost variable, and points out the uncertain of the definition of travel cost used in RUM analyses.

This book was released on 2006-07-13 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recreational fishing in the United States is an important social and economic component of many marine fisheries, with an estimated 14 million anglers making almost 82 million fishing trips in 2004. Although each individual angler typically harvests a small number of fish, collectively these sport fisheries can take a significant fraction of the yearly catch-in some cases more than commercial fisheries. For example, in 1999, recreational fishing accounted for 94% of the total catch of spotted sea trout, 76% of striped bass and sheephead, and 60 percent of king mackerel. It is important that systems used to monitor fishing catch are adequate for timely management of recreational fisheries. However, the large number of anglers and access points makes monitoring recreational fishing much more difficult than monitoring commercial fishing. This report reviews the types of survey methods used to estimate catch in recreational fisheries, including state/federal cooperative programs. The report finds that both telephone survey and onsite access components of the current monitoring systems have serious flaws in design or implementation. There are also several areas of miscommunication and mismatched criteria among designers of surveys, data collectors, and recreational fisheries. The report recommends that a comprehensive, universal sampling frame with national coverage should be established, and that improvements should be made in statistical analysis of the data collected and in the ways the data are communicated. A permanent and independent research group should be established and funded to evaluate the statistical design and adequacy of recreational fishery surveys and to guide necessary modifications or new initiatives.

Book Synopsis Recreational Hunting, Conservation and Rural Livelihoods by : Barney Dickson
Download or read book Recreational Hunting, Conservation and Rural Livelihoods written by Barney Dickson and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2009-01-22 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recreational hunting has long been a controversial issue. Is it a threat to biodiversity or can it be a tool for conservation, giving value to species and habitats that might otherwise be lost? Are the moral objections to hunting for pleasure well founded? Does recreational hunting support rural livelihoods in developing countries, or are these benefits exaggerated by proponents? For the first time, this book addresses many of the issues that are fundamental to an understanding of the real role of recreational hunting in conservation and rural development. It examines the key issues, asks the difficult questions, and seeks to present the answers to guide policy. Where the answers are not available, it highlights gaps in our knowledge and lays out the research agenda for the next decade.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study provides an empirical test of the Bockstael-McConnell (1980) household production function (HPF) framework for evaluating wildlife recreation. This is perhaps the first study in which both taste and technology parameters have been estimated with a theoretical model specification. The results suggest that for steelhead sport fishing in Oregon, the HPF methodology provides a promising recreation valuation technique. Also, some theoretical results are presented which extend Barnett's (1977) formulation of the HPF model to nonconsant returns to scale technologies. Conditions are identified under which it is possible to estimate structural taste and technology parameters. There is also a discussion on welfare analysis in the HPF framework. It is shown that welfare changes can be evaluated in either the input or the commodity markets. Different techniques for calculating two exact welfare measures --- compensating and equivalent variations --- are presented. In the HPF model estimated in this application, anglers are viewed as using market goods and their own time as inputs in the production of fishing experiences from which they derive utility. The two utility-yielding components of a fishing experience are defined as the fishing trip itself and the per trip fish catch. The major difference between this study and most previous studies of angler demand is that fish catch is treated here as an endogenous rather than an exogenous variable. That is, the number of sport-caught fish is found to be influenced by the quantities of inputs used by anglers. An advantage of the HPF framework is that it provides estimates of implicit or hedonic prices for commodities that are not priced on the market. Implicit prices, which are dependent on input prices and technology parameters, may also depend on the quantities of commodities consumed. Empirically specified implicit price functions are presented for both a fishing trip and a sport-caught fish. The results suggest that these implicit prices are not dependent on commodity quantities. The value of a fishing experience is defined in this study as the benefits derived from taking the trip and from catching fish. Estimates of the mean value of a fishing experience are presented in terms of both compensating and equivalent variations. These empirical results may be useful for determining values of fishing sites in Oregon. As is suggested by McConnell (1979) and Bockstael and McConnell (1980), the HPF framework can be used to determine the effects of exogenous quality changes on recreation benefits. In this study selected stream quality variables are included in the fish catch production function. Methods are shown for evaluating the welfare effects of changes in these exogenous quality variables. A model in which one or more quality indices are included could be useful for analyzing welfare effects on anglers of forest management plans or fishery enhancement projects. A problem which arose in this work is that the survey data used for the application was initially gathered for the purpose of apply ing a standard travel cost model. This led to some potentially biased parameter estimates for the HPF model. In spite of some data deficiencies, the results are theoretically plausible; but future research should be directed toward obtaining results for the HPF model which are not subject to these empirical limitations. Also, these results suggest that more research is needed to develop habitat quality indices. Future research efforts should also be directed toward developing multiple-site recreation valuation models. With such models, production relationships can vary across sites and substitution relationships among sites can be examined.
