period ending in 1970 totaled $439,513 and the net receipts were $177,581. The difference 

 was used for maintenance and operating expenditures. A substantial part of this amount was 

 reintroduced into the local economy in the form of salaries and services. 



In addition to the net receipts from harbor operations, significant indirect benefits have 

 accrued to the area as a result of salmon fishing made possible by the harbor. In 1969, for 

 instance, about 60,500 anglers fished for salmon out of Salmon Harbor, 40,000 from private 

 craft, and 20,500 from charter craft. Records show that 63,454 salmon were brought into 

 the harbor by sport fishermen that year. The Oregon State Game Commission, in Technical 

 Bulletin No. 78, September 1964, estimated that the average cost of catching salmon on 

 sport -fishing tackle was $63 per fish. Assuming that this represents the value placed on such 

 fishing by anglers (the money would have been spent on something else), an indirect 

 economic impact on the area of $3.5 million for the 1969 catch was indicated. 



The present expansion plan was initiated primarily in recognition of these large indirect 

 benefits. A comprehensive land-use master plan was developed in early 1970 with the intent 

 of integrating the existing facilities with proposed developments in a manner that would be 

 feasible and functional, and that would optimize project benefits to the area. The resulting 

 land-use proposal is shown in Figure 163. 



Sixty-two acres of usable land have been created as a result of the expansion project. 

 Most of this land will be devoted to recreation and ancillary facilities. The small peninsula 

 protecting the entrance to the new basin has been set aside for a day park, providing over 

 3 acres of picnic area. A nature area and additional camping area are planned for the western 

 arm of the project. These two areas are a natural extension of the existing park facilities at 

 Windy Cove. 



Commercial development will be confined primarily to the smaller peninsula areas that 

 jut into and partition the three boat -berthing areas. The proposed commercial developments 

 include: (a) A condominium-motel restaurant complex, (b) a boat and motor sales and 

 service facility, (c) dry -storage facilities, (d) an undersea garden aquarium, (e) automatic 

 vending faciUties for around-the-clock sales of tackle and bait, (f) a floating restaurant, 

 (g) gift shops and boutiques, (h) a bar and cocktail lounge, and (i) fish receiving and 

 processing facilities. 



The berthing capacity of the harbor will more than double, with 900 additional sUps. 

 Both private and public conveniences will be added, including expanded charter-boat 

 service, more bait and tackle shops, a coffee shop, and marine fuel facilities. 



This case study exemplifies a well planned expansion program that has considered future 

 opportunities as well as existing facilities and operational procedures. Also, the execution is 

 well coordinated, with the least possible disruption of ongoing operations.
