The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is requesting approval for a revised information collection to conduct a mail survey of households visiting beaches in four coastal locations as part of a Preliminary Case Study Assessing Economic Benefits of Marine Debris Reduction (hereafter referred to as the âRegional Pilot Studyâ). The four locations include Orange County, CA; Erie and Ottawa counties, OH; Kent and Sussex counties, DE; and Baldwin County, AL. The data from the current survey instrument will be combined with a national model of coastal recreation, which relies on data collected for the Deepwater Horizon oil spill assessment (English and McConnell, 2015; English et al., In review), to estimate the economic impacts of marine debris on tourism-dependent communities. The economic impacts to be evaluated include changes in the number of trips, the value of beach recreation to those who visit the beach, and changes in tourism spending (also called regional economic impacts) associated with an increase or decrease in the number of recreational trips.
US Code:
33 USC 1951 et seq.
Name of Law: Marine Debris Research, Prevention and Reduction Act of 2006
