Synopsis

This book advocates for increased state support to promote North Carolina's salt water fisheries and tourism economy. The author proposes expanding the Division of Commercial and Sports Fisheries' jurisdiction to include promoting sports fishing and constructing artificial reefs for offshore fisheries. The crux of the argument is that this increased support, funded by allocating a portion of the state gasoline tax and a small appropriation, would lead to increased fish populations and tourism spending at the coast, thereby benefiting inland and coastal counties. This book's significance lies in its detailed documentation of the economic and environmental benefits of investing in North Carolina's valuable salt water fisheries and tourism industries.
