Economics

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 hydrothermal discharges (316b).

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. Let us help you!
