Over the years i have "heard" of such a economic study in terms of hathcery spending and economic activity for the various user groups.

i.e 100$ per angler day for sportsfishing, ect.

but never found one that i could call "accepted by all sides (or accepted enough to write a law around it)

if you know of one, or can point me to the one the mitchell act talks about, i would love to read it. the problem has always been, when someone pushes a economic theory about fish, its always rebuted by one side or the other as either over-representing or under representing impact.

If there is a presidence for a study being sited.. i really really need to read it.

todd can you provide me a link..?
