Economic Impacts of Sports Fishing in Alcona County

摘要

Great Lakes sport fishing has developed over the past fifteen years into one of Michigan's major recreational pursuits and tourist attractions. The project had three major goals. The first goal was to estimate the annual number of resident and non-resident angler days spent fishing on Lake Huron in Alcona County. The second goal was to estimate the annual expenditures of non-resident anglers. The third goal was to give all parties with an interest in the sport fisheries in Alcona County an opportunity to express their thoughts, concerns, plans, and feelings about sport fishing's impact on the individual and the community.
