We develop estimates of the economic effects of sea level rise on
marine recreational shore fishing in North Carolina. We estimate the
relationship between angler behavior and spatial differences in beach
width using the Marine Recreational Fishing Statistics Survey and
geospatial data. We exploit the empirical relationship between beach
width and site choice by simulating the effects of (1) sea level rise
on beach width and (2) beach width on angler site choice. We find that
the welfare losses are potentially substantial, ranging up to a present
value of $1.26 billion over 75 years.
