$766 million and rippled throughout the economy with impacts felt throughout
the state. These impacts sustained old jobs and created new ones. They
generated sales and income taxes that benefitted government agency programs at
all levels. In many small communities, angler expenditures were central to
economic health and growth.

Impact of Sport Fishing in Florida." Paper presented at the
Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission Workshop on Socio-
Economic Data and Analysis for Recreational Fisheries Management
in Annapolis, Maryland, July, 18 pp. by the Sport Fishing
Institute, 1010 Massachusetts Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C.
This report summarizes the economic impacts of angler expenditures on
the state's economy. U.S. anglers who went fishing in Florida during 1991
spent over $1.9 billion for goods and services in many businesses throughout
the state. The economic effects of these expenditures totaled nearly $3.5
billion and rippled throughout the economy with impacts felt throughout the
state. These impacts sustained old jobs and created new ones. They generated
sales and income taxes that benefitted government agency programs at all
levels. In many small communities, angler expenditures were central to
economic health and growth.
Fee, Russ (1992). "Shrimp-Bycatch Conference Explores the Options."
National Fisherman, August: 23-25.
An article summarizing the international conference on bycatch in Buena
Vista, Florida. The meeting consensus is that finfish bycatch is real and
that it either will be eliminated or used in ways that will be biologically
and economically sound. Yet three days of talk led to no definite solutions.
Bycatch does not lend itself to simple answers.
Fee, Russ (1993). "Shrimpers can Expect a Decline as Louisiana
Marshland Recedes." National Fisherman, 73(11):18-19.
Louisiana's coastal wetlands are slowly sinking into the sea and with
them may be going the future of the $400 million a year shrimping industry of
the northern Gulf of Mexico.
Feenberg, Daniel and Edwin S. Mills (1980). Measuring the Benefits of
Water Pollution Abatement, Academic Press, New York.
This book is about measuring the benefits of water pollution abatement,
but the techniques also apply to air pollution abatement. It is about the
benefit side of the benefit - cost calculus.
Feeny, David, Susan Hanna, and Arthur F. McEvoy (1996). "Questioning
the Assumptions of the Tragedy of the Commons Model of
Fisheries." Land Economics, 72(2):187-205.
The tragedy of the commons argument predicts the overexploitation of
resources held in common. There is a great deal of evidence to the contrary.
The descriptive accuracy and predictive validity of six categories of
assumptions of the argument are examined. These include individual
motivations, characteristics of individuals, nature of institutional
arrangements, interactions among users, the ability of users to create new
arrangements, and the behavior of regulatory authorities. The tragedy of the
commons argument is seriously incomplete. It needs to be replaced by a richer
and more accurate framework.
