Abstract:

Everyone agrees that fishing is fun, but many do not realize that it is also economically beneficial. According to the Sport Fishing Institute, there were over sixty-five million fresh and saltwater fishermen in 1975 who spent over $8 billion in expenditures. However, the added pressure to the resource is a growing concern to fishing as an recreational industry.
