Description:
Over a one-year period, from May 1971 to May 1972, sport fishing activity in Grand Traverse Bay amounted to an estimated 69,000 angler days. Visitors to the area expended more than two-thirds of total angler activity. An estimated $418,000 of gross income attributable to the fishery resource accrued to the three-county community adjacent to the bay over the one-year period, mostly from anglers using public launching sites and from charter fishermen. Net income to the community from sport fishing was estimated at $203,000. Business activity generated by sport fishermen created an estimated 21.5 full-time equivalent jobs which were attributable to the fishery resource.
