Economic
Benefits of
Saltwater Fishing in Virginia
This
slideshow presentation has been prepared from data presented in studies
commissioned by VMRC. The presentation is intended to
demonstrate the
comparative economic value of recreational and commercial fishing activities. The
intention is not to discourage either sector, but to encourage legislators
and regulators to adopt measures to protect species important to either
or both sectors and maximize Virginia’s economic benefits from our
wild finfish resources. To
