Economic Impacts
Hunting, Fishing, and Wildlife Watching in Colorado
The
2008 Economic Impact Report details the statewide economic impacts of wildlife-related activities in Colorado. This report updates the
2004 Economic Impact Report (as revised 9/2008) with 2007 data for hunting and fishing and 2006 data for wildlife watching. The Colorado Parks and Wildlife updates the economic impact model approximately every five years.
Information in this report is based on hunting and fishing license sales, surveys, equipment sales, lodging information, and other expenditures associated with wildlife-related activities.
This type of information is frequently requested by the public in order to communicate the value of wildlife-associated activities. The results can also offer state and local policy-makers a better understanding of the economic impacts of wildlife-related decisions.
The report concludes that hunting and fishing generated an estimated $1.8 billion for Colorado's economy in 2007 and wildlife watching generated an estimated $1.2 billion in 2006. In addition, hunting and fishing supported approximately 21,000 jobs statewide while wildlife watching supported an additional 12,800 jobs.
