Abstract

Public and private lands in the United States are used by millions of people for recreational activities. Many of these activities occur in or near streams and coastal areas that produce various species of anadromous fish. A major concern of fishery managers is the possible adverse effect of recreational uses on fish habitat. Conversely, the management of fish habitats may have either positive or negative effects on recreation. Recreational issues affecting either the supply of habitat for anadromous fish production and use, or the demand for the fisheries are also discussed. Opportunities for research are outlined.
