Southwick Associates specializes in economic and business statistics related to fish & wildlife. Our expertise includes:

• Measuring retail expenditures by anglers, hunters, wildlife viewers and other outdoor recreationists.
• Quantifying the jobs, tax revenues and other economic impacts of outdoor recreation.
• Tracking trends within outdoor industries as well as identifying major distribution channels and the overall structure of specific outdoor-related industries.
• Analyze the value of fish, wildlife resources and their uses including land transactions, new business ventures, fish kills, and more.

We understand that many of the issues facing fish and wildlife conservation and recreation require support from the public legislatures, local government, media, corporations, and consumer markets. To effectively win support from these groups, we must communicate the values and interest placed on fish, wildlife and other natural resources. Failure to do so could result in little or no support for conservation and management efforts, and new business ventures. Economics meets this need by demonstrating the important contributions fish and wildlife provide, and consumer willingness to spend.

Southwick Associates was founded in 1989 to serve state fish and wildlife agencies as well as the sportfishing & hunting industries. From our north Florida offices, we continue to serve this core group, and now provide economic and business intelligence to many more.
