Economic benefits of hunting and fishing NSW

Quote:
The hunting and recreational fishing sector incorporates hunting and game management activities, and recreational fishing, including charter fishing. They are included in the measure of the total annual value of NSW’s primary industries this year as they are popular activities that contribute economic and social benefits to the Australian economy, particularly in regional areas.

Some businesses depend on the recreational fishing sector either wholly (the fishing tackle and bait industry and the fishing tour and charter industry) or for a large proportion of their income (the recreational boating industry and the tourism industry)105.

Similarly, hunting and game management activities support businesses directly related to the manufacture and sale of hunting and outdoor products and services (firearms and ammunition, camping and hunting equipment, and safety equipment related businesses), as well as specialist businesses including private game bird farms and hunting tour operators.

It is difficult to estimate the economic value of these sectors because game harvest and fishing catch are not sold and paid for in markets, unlike the catch or produce of other primary industries. They therefore do not reveal the associated value they gain from hunting game or catching fish105. As harvest or catch based (i.e. Gross Value of Production based) approaches do not capture all the community benefit elements of game hunting and recreational fishing, they cannot appropriately estimate the value of this sector.

Expenditure based measures of industry output are considered more appropriate for this sector and more comparable with Gross Value of Production measures. Using these methods, the recreational and charter fishing industry was estimated at $2.219 billion, with $1.541 billion attributed to hunting and game management. The estimated combined industry output of hunting and recreational fishing in 2017–18 was $3.760 billion.

Thank you to all those who hunt and fish for contributing to the NSW economy

Leftists and the Ayatollahs have a lot in common when it comes to criticism of Islam, they don't tolerate it.

I wonder what the percentage increase of Recreational Fishing 'now' is -  compared to when the Commercial Fishing was being wound down due to depletion of fishing stocks?

Has Recreational Fishing (in greater numbers) having the same impact as Commercial did, when it was in full swing?

What I mean to say is that 40 years ago it would be 5 fishermen in the bay.
Now there is 500 and each boat has multiple rods, etc.

I've seen Speafishing take its toll in just a 10 year period.
Certain spots have been decimated by just 'tourists' pouring in on peak periods to hammer spots.
Passed at least 20 groups in a day for one spot.
All hammering away, just killing anything - just to get a shot off.
I remember that spot being abundant with just local spearos popping in every now and then.
But since the tourist influx in numbers - its just a 'dead zone' with but little nursery fish.
