    Abstract The existence of a commercial fishery in a coastal community is often promoted by the tourism sector as a key feature to encourage visits by tourists. However, the contribution of fisheries to tourism in coastal communities in the economic literature is unclear, with mixed results from previous studies. In this study, we examine the counterfactual—how would tourism change in the absence of fishing, and how would this affect benefits to tourists and the local economy. We use a contingent behavior travel cost model, combining revealed and stated preference data, to estimate these changes for Mooloolaba, a coastal fishing town in the Sunshine Coast region of Queensland, Australia. We find that the fishing industry and related provision of local seafood generate $6 million in welfare gains to visitors. We further estimate that it is directly responsible for 19% of the total number of days visiting the town, contributing an additional $8 million per year through tourism related expenditure. Given the importance of the fishing industry to the tourism sector in coastal communities, there is a need for the tourism industry to engage in the fisheries management process.

    Abstract The Australian fishing industry is currently seeking ways to improve its economic viability in the face of external pressures such as competition from cheaper imports and loss of export markets in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. The promotion of "local" seafood appears successful elsewhere and may offer opportunities for fishers to exploit a previously underutilized market. The aim of this study is to estimate the willingness to pay (WTP) for the attribute "local" against other key attributes of sustainability and freshness when purchasing fish. This study uses a choice experiment based on Australian wild caught Barramundi to determine the importance of these attributes to Queensland seafood consumers. The results of the mixed multinomial logit model indicate that freshness attracts the highest WTP, followed by sustainability and then origin. With respect to the origin attribute, consumers would be willing to pay more for fish identified as locally produced than fish identified more broadly (i.e., State or Australian label). However, this higher willingness to pay is limited to residents from regional coastal areas (i.e., where the produce is caught), with consumers from main metropolitan areas more indifferent to product origin. Nevertheless, the development of a "local" label may also act as a proxy indicator of freshness and sustainability, and provide benefits to both fishers and consumers.

    Abstract The United Nations Statistical Commission (UNSC) has adopted chapters 8–11 of the System of Environmental-Economic Accounting—Ecosystem Accounting (SEEA EA) as the internationally recognized statistical principles and recommendations for the valuation of ecosystem services and assets for use in ecosystem accounts. This has provided new challenges for environmental economists. Ecosystem accounts capture the contribution of ecosystem assets to economic activity in a compatible way to the traditional System of National Accounts. Both are based on exchange instead of welfare value, with the latter commonly estimated and used in welfare analysis. To estimate exchange values for ecosystem services that contribute to the generation of non-market benefits, exchange prices need to be derived. In this paper, we apply the simulated exchange value (SEV) method to derive exchange prices and values to account for recreation-related services using the travel cost method. We show that exchange prices and average consumer surplus estimates are related. Further, we show that when travel-cost based exchange prices are considered, the proportional reduction in trip numbers is constant if the marginal enabling cost are zero, simplifying the modelling process. We demonstrate the development of accounts for an example recreational fishery based on these measures.

    Abstract In many countries, commercial and recreational fishing compete for access to marine resources. In some cases, recreational catch outweighs commercial harvest and may threaten species otherwise protected from commercial fishing. This has led to increasing calls for improved management of recreational fishing in the broader context of general fisheries management. As a result, fisheries managers face the challenge to decide how to allocate the available marine resources between competing uses. In this paper, we review and explain two common approaches that have been used to support recreational fishing allocation decisions. While economic activity analysis is an appropriate tool to assess how a change in resource allocation would affect regional economic activity (economic contributions and impacts), it is ill-suited to assess associated gains or losses in welfare of society as a whole (economic efficiency). Hence, economic activity analysis and social cost-benefit analysis complement each other, with each providing a different set of information answering a different set of questions. Unfortunately, both types of analysis use the term "economic value" suggesting that they are alternative approaches that provide the same information, whereas in fact they are not. If the objective of fishery managers is to ensure that society as a whole is made better off, the appropriate metric is economic value as defined by welfare economics. Under this definition, all goods and services provided by marine resources that are beneficial to humans have economic value. This includes non-use values such as the continued existence of an endangered marine species. The aim of this paper is to support managers and policymakers in allocating marine resources by reviewing relevant economic principles, concepts, and tools in the context of recreational fishing, including the use and challenges of estimating the non-market benefits generated by recreational fishing experiences.

    Abstract Beaches provide multiple recreational opportunities, such as swimming, surfing, fishing, walking or just enjoying being by the seaside. Most previous studies that have valued beach use have assumed a trip to the beach was a homogeneous activity. In this study, we estimate the non-market value of beach usage by New South Wales, Australia, residents using a travel cost modelling approach. Unlike previous studies, we develop the model based on the activities that visitors mostly undertake when visiting the beach, and allow for multiple activities to occur. We find that different uses of the beach attract different levels of consumer surplus. Activities such as surfing, fishing and swimming generate higher levels of consumer surplus than more passive activities such as just enjoying the natural environment. We also find that Sydney residents have different values to non-Sydney residents. From our analysis, a trip to the beach provides a base level of consumer surplus of around $10/trip for Sydney residents, with additional benefits derived from undertaking different activities. For example, surfing followed by a walk along the beach adds an additional $17 to the value of the visit. Understanding the pattern of use is therefore important when estimating the use values of beaches.

    Abstract Managing fisheries to achieve ecological, economic and social sustainability is complex. The use of dynamic bioeconomic models can be and have been used to assist in determining management targets. However, optimizing profits over time can result in large reductions in fishing effort in the short term with adverse social consequences. There exist other benefits from maintaining fishing effort even in adverse conditions (e.g., maintain crew and fleet capacity). For this reason, many bioeconomic models have included some form of minimum effort, catch or short-term profit constraint. In this paper, we consider a range of approaches to assess an appropriate minimum fishing effort, including the estimation of fishery breakeven effort levels, and approaches based on historical fishing levels. These are tested using a bioeconomic model currently used for fishery management. We find that breakeven approaches tend to result in the most conservative effort levels and the highest net present value of profits. In contrast, using a proportion of the moving average of the observed fishing effort results in less conservative change in effort, while resulting in positive changes in the net present value of fishery profits. The approach also has the advantage of being dynamic, adjusting with recent fishery conditions.
