Socioeconomic implications of recreational shore angling for the management of coastal resources in a Mediterranean marine protected area
Roving creel surveys of recreational shore fishing were conducted in 2007 in the marine reserve of Cap de Creus (NW Mediterranean) to assess the socioeconomic implications of this leisure activity. Even though an angler spends on average around 600€ per year in fishing supplies and car fuel, the eco...
