In today's "Information Age," economic research and analysis are
vital to the broad approach necessary to address Florida's complex
fish-, wildlife- and habitat-related issues.
The Socioeconomic Assessment Office, part of the Information
Science and Management section of the Fish and Wildlife Research
Institute, provides decision-makers with an understanding of the
economic value, impact, benefits, costs and efficiency measures
directly related to the conservation of fish and wildlife
resources. Although the primary audience for this information is
the Florida Legislature and FWC resource managers, we recognize the
importance of communicating economic information to the public as
well.
