Definitions

Great Lakes Angler

an angler who fished at least one day on any of the Ontario waters of the Great Lakes or to an inland distance of 20 kms on any rivers and streams terminating in the Great Lakes

Origin

resident is an angler who resided in the province of Ontario and a nonresident is an angler who visited Ontario: a Canadian (from another province/territory) or a non-Canadian

Day Fished

a "day of fishing" is defined as all or part of any day on which recreational fishing activity occurred

Total Investment Expenses

these are investment expenditures for durable goods (boats, motors, campers, fishing equipment, special vehicle, etc.), which have been allocated to the Great Lakes based on the time the angler spent on the Great Lakes in 1990 as a percent of all days fished in the province

Attributable Investments

the amount of the investment expenditures for durable goods which the angler identified as being wholly attributable to recreational fishing activity (as a percentage of the total) and which have been allocated to the Great Lakes based on the time the angler spent on the Great Lakes in 1990 as a percent of all days fished in the province

Direct Expenditures

these are expenditures for goods and services (food, camping, accommodation, transportation, supplies, etc.) incurred when on fishing trips or excursions which have been allocated to the Great Lakes on the prorated basis described above

Equipment/Supplies

there is a distinction between these two categories insofar as fishing equipment is defined to be expenditures on such durable goods as fishing rods, reels, depth finders, etc. and fishing supplies are items purchased in the course of fishing activity such as bait, lures, line, etc.

Willingness to Pay

the maximum amount of money an angler was willing to pay per fishing day, for the same number of days fished, had costs increased due to higher costs for services such as gasoline, food, etc. (allocated for each day fished on the Great Lakes)
