Presentation Transcript

  1. Developing Species-Specific Recreational Values for Allocation: Snapper-Grouper in the Gulf of Mexico Tim Haab (Ohio State University) Rob Hicks (College of William and Mary) Kurt Schnier (University of Rhode Island) John Whitehead (Appalachian State University) *MARFIN #NA06NMF4330055

  2. Previous NMFS/MRFSS Recreational Valuation Research • McConnell and Strand, 1994 • Hicks, Steinbeck, Gautam, Thunberg, 1999 • Haab, Whitehead, and Ted McConnell, 2000

  3. Single Species Models • Targeting behavior • Species substitution • Preference heterogeneity

  4. MRFSS 2000 • LA to NC • n = 70,781 • Southeast 2000 (Limited Valuation Round) • n = 42,079 • Hook and line trips only (99%), day trips only (67%) [self-reported and < 200 miles one-way distance], delete missing values on key variables (28% PRIM1 is missing) • n = 18,709 +/- • Targets a species • n=11,257 +/-

  5. Fishing mode

  6. State of intercept

  7. Species • 425 unique species caught by recreational anglers sampled by the MRFSS • 15 species account for 82% of the targeting activity and 38% of the (type 1) catch

  8. Target Behavior (Prim1)

  9. Top target species of interest from RFP

  10. Four demand models • Florida Atlantic big game (dolphin) • Gulf of Mexico reef fish (red snapper) • Inshore small game (red drum) • Offshore small game (mackerel)

  11. GOM Reef Fish Intercept Sites (n = 1224)

  12. Target Species

  13. “Snappers” (n = 160)

  14. Shallow water groupers (n = 725) Red snapper (n = 239)

  15. Mode

  16. Random Utility Models • Conditional Logit • Nested Logit • Mixed Logit • Latent Class Model

  17. Conditional Logit Party/charter boatcounty sites Private/rental boat county sites

  18. Nested Logit Party/charter Private/rental Counties Counties

  19. Variables • 71 Species/Mode/Site choices • Trip cost • [party/charter] TC = charter fee + travel cost + time costs • [private/rental] TC = travel costs + time costs • Quality • 5-year historic (type 1) targeted catch rate • Number of MRFSS interview sites in the county

  20. WTP for 1 additional fish
