AB  - Concern over the potential transfer of aquatic nuisance species (ANS) between the 
      Great Lakes basin and the Upper Mississippi River basin has motivated calls to 
      re-establish hydrologic separation between the two basins. Accomplishing that 
      goal would require significant expenditures to re-engineer waterways in the 
      Chicago, IL area. These costs should be compared to the potential costs resulting 
      from ANS transfer between the basin, a significant portion of which would be 
      costs to recreational fisheries. In this study, a recreational behavior model is 
      developed for sport anglers in an eight-state region. It models how angler 
      behavior would change in response to potential changes in fishing quality 
      resulting from ANS transfer. The model also calculates the potential loss in net 
      economic value that anglers enjoy from the fishery. The model is estimated based 
      on data on trips taken by anglers (travel cost data) and on angler statements 
      about how they would respond to changes in fishing quality (contingent behavior 
      data). The model shows that the benefit to recreational anglers from 
      re-establishing hydrologic separation exceeds the costs only if the anticipated 
      impacts of ANS transfer on sport fish catch rates are large and widespread.
