Previous empirical research has not provided definitive support for an association between participation in outdoor recreation activities and conservation attitudes and behaviors. This paper explored the relationships that construct recreationists' conservation behaviors in the context of recreational fishing. Study objectives were to investigate relationships of recreation specialization and personal motivations and attitudes that mediate conservation attitudes and behaviors; and explore causal connections between conservation attitudes and behaviors. Analyses generally supported the theoretical propositions in the model. Recreation specialization and the other concepts taken together appeared to provide insights to understanding patterns of conservation attitudes and behaviors. By knowing the causal relationships explaining conservation attitudes and behaviors, managers can better understand the extent of anglers' support for various conservation measures.KEYWORDS: Conservation attitudes and behaviorsrecreation specializationexperience preferencesconsumptive orientationrecreational fishing
