a All benefits presented in this table are annualized, i.e., equal to the value of all benefits generated over the time frame of the analysis, discounted to 2012, and then annualized over the entire period of this

analysis (2012 to 2062). See Appendix D for detail.

b A range of recreational fishing benefits is provided, based on the Krinsky and Robb technique, to estimate the 5th and 95th percentile limits on the marginal value per fish predicted by the meta-analysis.

Commercial fishing benefits are computed based on a region-and species-specific range of gross revenue, as explained in Chapter 6 of this report. EPA estimated recreational use benefits for some T&E

species, as explained in Chapter 5. To calculate the total monetizable value columns (low, mean, high), the values for commercial fishing benefits and T&E species benefits are added to the respective low,

mean, and high values for recreational fishing benefits.c No significant commercial fishing takes place in the Inland region. Thus, this region is excluded from the commercial fishing analysis.

d Recreational use benefits from increased abundance of T&E species with potentially high recreational use values (e.g., paddlefish and sturgeon). See Chapter 5 of this report

for more detail on EPA’s analysis of T&E benefits.

e

Zeros represent values less than 1,000.
