“…A third problem, endogenous stratification, occurs when onsite sampling results in a higher chance of encountering avid users. This issue has been recognized and dealt with in recent recreational fishing literature, along with all of the abovementioned issues, by using an endogenously stratified truncated negative binomial model (Curtis 2003;Prado 2006; O. Ojumu, D. Hite, and D. Fields, Auburn University, paper presented at the Southern Agricultural Economics Association Annual Meeting, 2009). It has been shown that accounting for endogenous stratification in a count data specification lowered the benefit estimate (Martínez-Espiñeira et al 2006).…”

Trout are often popular target species for anglers worldwide and have been the most commonly stocked game fish species in the USA. Using survey data collected at Colorado's stocked public reservoirs in 2009, we found that trout anglers’ net economic benefits were more than twice those of anglers fishing for species other than trout. Values estimated from the travel cost method produced angler‐day consumer surpluses (willingness to pay [WTP]) of US$191.60 for trout anglers and $61.68 for nontrout anglers. Based on the contingent valuation method, the mean WTP was $196.48 for trout anglers and $73.84 for nontrout anglers, while the median WTP was $164.53 for trout anglers and $56.78 for nontrout anglers. Thus, the relative values of fishing for trout versus fishing for other species are robust to nonmarket valuation methods, and the two valuation methods show convergent validity.

“…For example, Vesterinen et al (2010) estimate WTP/trip of approximately €23 for swimming, fishing or boating trips in Finland. Previous studies of Irish recreational water users include WTP estimates for swimming of approximately €102/trip and €35/trip for boating (Curtis 2003); €22/trip for beach visits (Barry, van Rensburg, and Hynes 2011); €152/trip for white-water kayaking (Hynes and Hanley 2006), and €371/day for angling (Curtis and Stanley 2016).…”

This study combines routinely collected water quality data from Ireland and an on-site survey of waterway users to evaluate whether trip duration is responsive to changes in water quality. Four categories of recreational users are considered: anglers, boaters, other water sports (e.g. rowing, swimming, canoeing, etc.) and land-based activities at water sites, specifically walking and cycling. Water quality measures included in the analysis include Water Framework Directive (WFD) status, biochemical oxygen demand, ammonia, phosphorus and faecal coliform. The analysis finds evidence that higher levels of recreational demand (i.e. trips of longer duration) occur at sites with better water quality. However, we also find no statistical association between the overall WFD status and the duration of the recreational trip, which indicates that WFD status is of limited practical use for recreational users.

“…In developed economies as many as half of the adult population participate in water-based recreational activities (Curtis, 2003;Environment Agency, 2009;Outdoor Foundation, 2013). And it is widely recognised that the enjoyment of water-based recreational activities is enhanced by higher water quality status, including in swimming (Arnold et al, 2013;Wade et al, 2010), boating, canoeing/kayaking, shing and rowing (Dorevitch et al, 2015(Dorevitch et al, , 2011, as well as tourism more generally (Aminu et al, 2014;Lee and Lee, 2015).…”

The models are used to investigate the extent to which anglers are responsive to differences in water quality, with the water quality metric defined by the EU's Water Framework Directive. The analysis shows that angling demand is greater where water quality has a higher ecological status, particularly for anglers targeting game species. However, for coarse anglers we find the reverse, angling demand is greater in waters with lower ecological status. On average, across the different target species surveyed, anglers have a willingness to pay of €371 for a day's fishing. The additional benefit of angling in waters with high versus low ecological status was the highest for game anglers at a mean of €122 per day.
