The dollar impact being used is $100 million and as I understand it is pretty much a recreational fishing number tied to the number of fisher trips multiplied by the dollar value/fisher trip established by the 2008 economic study commissioned by WDFW (http://wdfw.wa.gov/publications/pub.php?id=00464).

The actual numbers in the original report are in 2006 dollars so I hope they have adjusted for inflation.
