Title: Economic Value of Wildlife
Viewing Passengers in Stellwagen Bank
National Marine Sanctuary.
OMB Control Number: 0648-xxxx.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular (request for
a new information collection).
Number of Respondents: 2,000.
Average Hours per Response:
Screening survey, 2 minutes; full
survey, 30 minutes.
Burden Hours: 568.
Needs and Uses: Stellwagen Bank
National Marine Sanctuary is currently
in the process of updating the 2010
Management Plan, and has identified a
lack of baseline socioeconomic
information on ocean recreation
businesses. The information is not
available to assess the possible
economic benefits of marine wildlife
protection to the local economy, or the
potential impact on ocean recreation
businesses. The type of data targeted for
this collection; that is, user
demographic profiles, importance/
satisfaction of wildlife viewing trips and
expenditures of trips that involve
wildlife viewing has never been
collected in this region. Thus, current
information on the importance/
satisfaction of marine wildlife viewing
and the expenditures generated from
these activities is needed. The primary
focus for the survey will be to gather
data on the non-consumptive,
importance/satisfaction and
expenditures of marine wildlife viewing
passengers. Specifically, researchers
will collect data to help determine the
contribution of marine wildlife
watching passengers to the economy in
the Stellwagen Bank region.
Expenditures will be used in IMPLAN
to estimate the economic contributions
of the activity (jobs, income, GDP and
value-added).
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.
Frequency: Once or twice during a
three-year period.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
This information collection request
may be viewed at reginfo.gov. Follow
