Abstract
In Chile, recreational fishing activities generate annual income between US$10 and US$15 millions. One of the main Chilean regions for recreational fishing is Chilean Patagonia (43º-55º S) due to its environmental quality and great diversity of extraordinary landscapes. Based on survey and study results, this two-page policy brief provides information for decision makers with regards to economic welfare measures relevant for recreational fisheries management.
