Aquatic Plant Control Research Program. Volume A-02-1, August 2002

Abstract

This article reports on an evaluation of economic impact of nonnative plant conditions related to angling, undertaken by adapting existing survey efforts and utilizing recreation economic impact models. This provides fisheries and aquatic plant managers with the value of the economic output, income, and jobs associated with the existing plant conditions and with increasing plant conditions. By using the input-output (1-0) economic impact models, expenditure information collected by the creel surveys can be used to determine which industries and businesses benefit or are harmed by increasing aquatic plant infestations.
