Abstract: The information collection requirement is necessary to determine National Economic Development (NED) benefits and recreation values for five recreation sites, including Miami-Dade County FL, Pinellas County FL, Collier County FL, Folly Beach SC, and San Juan Coast Line, PR. As part of this investigation, the Corps will evaluate the existing recreation demand and tourism opportunities provided by each project. The proposed methodology (design) involves an onsite intercept survey of eligible recreationist to collect data on recreational trips and activities within the region, state, and nation. The models will be used to produce empirical estimates of economic value of beach replenishment.
