Economic Values and Impacts of Sport Fishing, Hunting and Trapping Activities in Pennsylvania
January 01, 1998 | Community and Economic Development
This research studied the economic impacts and values of hunting, fishing and trapping activities on the Commonwealth. The research goals were to provide a snapshot of how much money these activities bring to the state; how much money people are spending to enjoy these activities; and how these sporting activities affect employment in rural areas. The grant project also set out to measure the economic value of these activities by determining whether participants actually spent as much as they are willing to spend to participate in their sport; to determine what the long-term economic benefits of these activities may be; and to develop an economic baseline measure that would support these activities.
