For-Hire Studies
The for-hire component of recreational fisheries includes charter boats, headboats, and guideboats. Models of the for-hire sector are useful for a number of management questions such as the contribution of the industry to a regional economy and the economic impacts and changes in economic benefits related to changes in management policies, natural disasters, or other environmental changes.
