New Study Analyzes Fish Caught Per Person in Each State

A new study from SI Yachts shows how many fish are caught per person in American coastal states. The results paint a picture of the fishing industry and how fishing tourism could affect statistics. For example, Florida and South Carolina attract millions of visitors every year, many of whom like to spend some time fishing, which could boost the high numbers we see from these states and add to resident fishing contributions. Tourism adds complex layers to the data and fishing narrative, as the availability of charter boat operations, guided fishing tours, and rental services adds to the amount of fishing in any given state.
