fishing platform and method of fishing. From these es- 
timates the resource manager can appraise the com- 
petitive effort between recreational and commercial 
fishermen for the same resource, the time when the 
greater or lesser competition occurs, and where and how 
it occurs. The estimates also provide the manager with 
possible solutions to competitive problems by 
manipulating the time, place, and method of harvest. 
Estimates of the economic benefits of daytime 
recreational angling were computed for two primary

equitable allocation of the natural resources among user 
groups.
