The Economic Value of Scuba-Diving Use of Natural and Artificial Reef Habitats
Artificial reefs may attract and sustain fish populations, but whether they resemble natural reefs is open to conjecture. This article addresses the question of whether artificial reefs are functionally acceptable to scuba divers. Research objectives were (1) to identify the nonmarket value of recreational scuba diving in offshore marine waters and (2) to ascertain whether the willingness to pay for scuba diving varied between users of natural an…
Platte River Birding and the Spring Migration
Each spring Sandhill Cranes migrate north through the Platte River region to nesting grounds. Wildlife watchers were surveyed to understand the extent to which they valued the ecological resources that provided birding opportunities. A mail questionnaire containing scenarios (with a cost attached to each) focused on management programs to preserve the present status of the river, proposed changes in species diversity, and on Sandhill Crane popula…
Understanding Anglers’ Willingness to Pay Under Alternative Management Regimes
Contingent valuation methods were used to estimate the net economic benefits of the recreational fishing experience for Atlantic bluefin tuna in Hatteras, North Carolina. We sought to understand anglers’ differential willingness-to-pay (and selected predictor variables) under various management scenarios that were more or less restrictive compared to status quo regulations. A mail survey was sent to anglers intercepted on site. Logistic regressio…
Measuring Specialization among Birders
This article sought to determine the efficacy of a self-classification measure of recreation specialization, relative to two-multi-item approaches, in predicting other aspects of recreation participation (in this case, motivations). The sample was drawn from birders who traveled to the Platte River (Nebraska) to experience the annual crane migration. The self-classification measure had birdwatchers categorize themselves as a committed birder, an …
Understanding Differences in Nonmarket Valuation by Angler Specialization Level
Using the concept of recreation specialization, we would expect willingness-to-pay (WTP) differences among participant sub-groups as an expression of increasing commitment to their activity. To expand understanding of predictable angler sub-group differences in economic valuation, a two-stage process was used to investigate WTP differences among heterogeneous sub-groups. Cluster analysis was used with a three dimensional specialization model. A z…
Economic value of wetlands-based recreation
An analysis of information overload with implications for survey design research
A laboratory‐type experiment was conducted to examine potential information overload causes and solutions. It was found that both information quantity and information complexity are potential causes of information overload. The experiment results also suggested that information overload problems may be reduced through carefully designed information display patterns. When designing survey questionnaires, attention must be given to potential causes…
Recreational boating and its economic impact in Texas
As a form of leisure, recreational boating provides society with both non‐monetary and monetary benefits. In many instances, however, little is known quantitatively about these benefits. The primary objective of this paper is to shed some light on the monetary benefits of recreational boating. Recreational boating has recently been shown to have a significant role within state economies. The impact of the recreational boating industry on the Texa…
