Atlantic striped bass study: socio-economic benefits of the striped bass resource

Limited resources and time precluded an in-depth examination of Atlantic striped bass angling and commercial harvest and their resulting social and economic values and impacts. This characterization outlines the possible benefits to the nation from successful fisheries management, but it does not attempt to quantify those benefits. This document also specifies the types of additional economic and sociological studies that could be conducted, the questions that could be answered, and the additional data that would be needed to answer them.
