Economics of Hunting, Fishing, Boating, Wildlife Viewing & Other Outdoor Activities

Southwick Associates’ roots lie in quantifying the economic impact of fishing, hunting, wildlife viewing, boating and other outdoor pursuits. Our economic assessments have been used to:

• Help industries and conservationists explain the benefits associated with healthy and sustainably managed resources,
• Assist in legal cases,
• To increase awareness of the jobs, tax revenues and other contributions from specific industries,
• To determine economic and market values for wetlands and other public land acquisitions,
• Estimate resource damages, and
• Estimate the cost-benefits associated with management of impingement and entrainment at power utilities (EPA 316(b) issues).

We’ve put our economic expertise to work in a variety of outdoor sectors ranging from the alligator industry to public lands management to international sportfishing to 316(b) issues for power utilities. Let us help you!
