The economic contributions of marine recreational fishing include economic activities generated from marine fishing trips and expenditures on fishing-related durable equipment. The three marine recreational fishing modes include:
-
charter boats-for-hire,
-
private boats, and
-
shore fishing.
The total economic contributions are the sum of direct, indirect and induced effects.
- Direct effects express the economic activities in the sector in which the expenditure was initially made.
- Indirect effects result from changes in the economic activity of other industrial sectors which supply goods or services to the sector being evaluated.
- Induced effects are the result of personal consumption expenditures by industry employees.
